Nisha dances
Kathmandu, May 21st, 2011
My first visit back to Niharika Shishu Kunja High School, I discovered they were putting on a dance exhibition the following day. Over thirty students of varied ages performed beautiful dances, both traditional as well as Bollywood-style.
Nisha was one of the especially brave students who took her place in front of her entire school and danced alone.
