Susmriti Tamang
- Health and Rehabilitation Coordinator
As the saying goes “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, I believe contentment can be obtained with clarity and confidence. From being a National Tai Chi player to BBS student, I have come across with Bihani since its earlier days. Throughout my journey, I have learnt that ageing is a continuous process taking a step ahead with beauty, purpose and appreciation. I feel more confident and knowledgeable having been exposed to several sessions on ageing and interactions with individuals of different age groups. With focus on mental and physical wellbeing, I have honed my skills on ageing issues, elderly care and care-giving interventions for holistic health care. I in “Improvement of Community Based Disaster Risk Management and Post disaster Psycho-social care for Socially Vulnerable People in Nepal” through a year-long training by Japan International Support Program (JISP), and thus recognised as a TOT expert. Thankfully, I have been able to facilitate the best practices in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Dharan and Pokhara for caregivers, families, elders and youth groups. I feel blessed that I have touched hearts of many individuals through Bihani. Sometimes, ageing can be too hard on life but ultimately, it seems rewarding to see joyful faces and get emotionally-connected as one family.
