24th October 2022, Kathmandu
It was a fine day while I was going through my news feed on Facebook when I encountered Huawei’s advertisement about Seeds for the Future Program.
I went to the link and visited the seeds nepal application website where I got to learn about this amazing program.
Huawei was giving a golden opportunity to seven selected National Finalists from Nepal to participate in their CSR program held in Thailand.
The program seemed interesting so I filled in my application, which was a 600 word motivation letter, and submitted it. After a few days, I got a text from Huawei saying I was selected for the interview round. My happiness went up to the sky and beyond. That night I prepared for the interview with very little sleep because I didn’t want this chance to be missed.
I went to the interview where Timila ma’am, Shashidhar Sir and Subarna Sir were my interviewers. They presented me with lots of technical, social and meaningful questions during the interview and I answered them all. Me and one of the other finalists were waiting eagerly for the results and that fine evening, I got the call from Mr Supral Raj Joshi, congratulating me for being selected as the National Finalists. My family and I became really happy when we got this news. I came to Kathmandu a few months ago only with a dream of achieving and before even a year had passed, I scored this big opportunity.
We participated in various activities here in Nepal like Ncell Data Center Visit, Dishhome Meet, UNESCO Discussion and all. Then we flew off to Thailand where we learned about 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing and Digital Power.
We also presented our idea of removing counterfeit drugs from the supply chain using modern technologies like Blockchain and AI. Finally, after working for nights on
this project, we won the Tech4Good competition in Thailand and took off for Singapore to attend Tech4Good Accelerator Camp. We learned the industrial and business perspective of our project. It was really helpful and insightful to our idea for working further with and taking it to the upcoming Tech4Good Global.
I am especially thankful to Huawei and the selection committee for providing me with this inspiring opportunity and helping me become a seed for the future. With all our learning and experience in Thailand and Singapore, I believe I can help and grow my community here in Nepal.
