One day, the director of Matsiko met her and offered her a chance to find a sponsor. Getting to know Susmita, the Matsiko Director saw that she was a very sweet and talented child. Susmita was offered to be a part of Nepal’s National Matsiko Children’s Choir and she excitedly accepted. Later, Susmita traveled to the USA to be a part of Matsiko’s World Choir. While in the USA, Sumita was shown that if you work hard and have a plan, you can achieve much more.

After returning, Susmita did very well in High School and passed her nation’s university entrance exams. Now Susmita will study Business Management and apply those skills to managing hotels in her area. Amazingly she already has businesses that have expressed their interest in hiring her. Susmita could not be more grateful and thankful to her loving and encouraging sponsor.
