Some 60 families of Musahar community in Mahottari have started sending their children to school due to the motivation of Nepali comedian artistes Kunjana Ghimire (Suntali) and Sitaram Kattel (Dhurmus).
Musahar children who used to be sighted on the bank of the local Rato Stream sieving sand and harvesting pebbles, and collecting firewood from the jungle earlier are now no longer busy in such menial labor as they have started going to schools.
Parents of the Musahar community-based in Bardibas Municipality-2 realized that they had to send their offspring to school instead of sending them to work.
Suntali and Dhurmus, who won the hearts of Nepali audiences through their comedian characters in a Nepali teleserial Meri Bassai, decided to lend their helping hands in rebuilding the earthquake-flattened village in Sindhupalchwok after the recent major earthquake in the country.
