USEF-Nepal's 'Get Inspired' programs feature students or alumni of U.S. colleges and universities who provide insight to prospective students.
In USEF’s next Get Inspired program, guest speakers Bibatshu Thapa Chhetri and Joe Grassi, both rising seniors at Colby College, are sharing their journey of attending a small private liberal arts school in Maine, which has led them to Mainapokhari, Dolakha this summer. Regardless of representing vastly different backgrounds, nationality, among many other things, they became fast friends after meeting in their first class at Colby. This summer, they have been awarded a prestigious $10,000 Davis Projects for Peace grant. Their project aims to improve internet access in rural Nepal communities, helping farmers use technology to market their goods and connect with customers. By leveraging their college education and personal experiences, this is their way of giving back to their respective communities. Come and hear their story and get inspired!
