Strength TogetHER is a virtual program facilitated by 'LOKOPAKAR', a youth organization that has achieved to provide a space and platform for individuals (especially girls and young women) to share their views, opinions, perspectives, experiences, their issues and find solutions to them.

On 26 december,2020 ,the 8th session of cohort 6 was conducted with the participation of 17 girls and  was moderated by Simran Khatri, a fresh graduate of Bachelors in Development Studies who has been working in the field of development as she aspires to spread awareness among women and children in different issues through Global Peace Foundation Nepal.


Spreading happiness by helping others to receive happiness from others clearly defines one of the levels in this happiness game. In this session all of us discussed about the smallest of the smallest things that makes us smile to the best.Some of the  sunshine in our speakers life which makes them happy are: 

1. Playing with puppies,rabbits and cats
2. Travelling to village areas
3. Spending time with old people
4. Showing humanity
5. Seeing parents happy
5. Smell of new books
6.Eating cakes,pizza,momo etc.
7. Watching moon
8. Connecting with new friends
9. Inspiring people
10. Giving time to hobbies
11. Receiving helps
12. Clicking good pictures
13.Listening to music and dancing
14. Making people laugh

This session was one of the most interactive sessions ever conducted which made us realize how much we are stressing over big things and waiting for bigger contentment while we can find happiness in the small things in our lives. All thanks to the participants and moderator for spreading positivity.

Seeing this family grow and strengthen day by day , seeing those buds bloom into beautiful flowers , and hearing them open themselves among us , really makes me a proud team member . I'm really overwhelmed with gratitude for the entire team's love and support in this journey of making ourselves a better person.
