up and running

The one month Spring break is over, and the kids are back in school.  Binita, Binod, Sneharika and Bijay are in class ten which means their schedule is filled to the brim with preparations for the state exams and college prep.  They will remain engaged where they can while school is on, but in a more diminished capacity.  Rupesh, Subani and Suman are in class nine, so they will be more readily on-call for work.  A shining star in the program is Kavita.

Kavita has three months before college begins that she has dedicated to managing AABISKAR VIDEO PRODUCTIONS.  She is running the works, communications with clients, schedules, film shoots, edits, accounts…  At only 16 years old, she is incredibly responsible and observant.  She is always looking for more to learn and rising to every challenge.

A week or so ago, the group came away from a meeting with a new client having convinced them to engage AABISKAR for not only two films, but a website as well.

‘We can make website?’, she asked me.

‘Sure, you are managing your own blog on wordpress.  You could offer to set up a professional wordpress site for your client’, I replied.

‘OK, I will do that’.  That day Sneharika looked up the going price for setting up a wordpress blog and they added it to their repertoire.  I had to smile at their confidence that they can learn a skill and offer it to their clients so quickly. .  They have the makings of great entrepreneurs.

Check out their website at www.aabiskarvideo.wordpress.com

By the way, have I mentioned AABISKAR means ‘to create’ in Nepali.  It also contains the first initial of all eight youth. Bijay, Binod, Binita, Sneherika, Subani, Suman & Kavita.

thanks for reading!
