class="content__text" Featuring @suiro.teas • In a country where tea is a beloved and a staple drink for most citizens, and with the topography best for growing tea, Shrisha Pradhananga, along with Hong Mei Liao, saw a gap in the market between suppliers and customers. Coming from a family of botanists, Shrisha had always been fascinated by flowers and plants. Seeing the lack of quality tea in a country with some of the best places to grow tea, she found that not only was there a gap on the market but also the lack of options for customers. In 2018, Shrisha met her co-founder Hong Mei, who is tea specialist, through a mutual friend. As they started to meet up frequently, they started discussing the tea culture in Nepal and China respectively. The more Shrisha and Hong Mei discussed about tea, the more they were motivated to start their own tea company. Hong Mei, with a Master’s degree in Phytochemistry and research in the health benefits of herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Shrisha’s ITA Tea Sommelier Certification, the two decided to introduce an alternative way of life through the art of tea to Nepali people and support the ever growing tea community. Thereafter, in 2022, Suiro Teas became an official tea company, offering hand selected herbal blends, flower teas and quality tea. Currently, Suiro Teas is one of the well-known tea companies in the niche tea community. The Suiro team wants to change the perception of tea and want to develop a tea culture as well as become a truly Nepali brand that provides the best quality of tea to the customers. Suiro has also collaborated with a renowned artist Gopal Kalapremi Shrestha for highly valuable series of ceramic wares. This collection represents a modern interpretation of traditional Nepali craftsmanship, and aims to bridge the gap between contemporary design and timeless craft. In future, Shrisha and Hong Mei hope to take Suiro to new heights by becoming the go-to brand for quality tea as well as open a tea room for an authentic tea experience. #ChaseYourDreams #DreamsComeTrue #DreamersAndDoers #MadeinNepal #Nepal #Nepali #PossibleChaSabai

class="content__text" Featuring @arunodayaprajapati • When Arunodaya Prajapati was a young boy, his uncle started wood carving in Bhaktapur, a city full of beautiful, intricate, and unique designs that were adorned on temples, shrines and houses.  Growing up surrounded by the beautiful Nepali arts and culture and distinctive Newari architecture, art always had a special place in Arunodaya’s heart. As with many young people, Arunodaya put his hidden passion aside to pursue a career in Engineering. Despite having a background in engineering, he always knew that someday he would be working in the field of his passion. When the family business had to be passed down, Arunodaya took the responsibility in his hands and gave up his career to look after one of Bhaktapur’s oldest running wood carving business. Although the industry of wood carving is slowly dying, Arunodaya’s appreciation of Nepali art, lost amidst the current generation, only grew further. Slowly, an increase in demand from tourists for Nepali wood carvings instigated mass production of these designs where artisans began to compromise on the old techniques and quality. However, Arunodaya wanted to continue carving wood using ancient methods and preserving the cultural depth of each artwork. Consequently, after taking over the business in 2009, Arunodaya brought with him a new zest and creativity in the business. His fascination with Bhaktapur’s ancient temples and culture reignited his hidden passion for wood carving and he started designing lattices as well as various other pieces available at Himalayan Wood Carving Masterpieces. Currently, there are 12 artisans that work alongside Arunodaya. Though his works are very sought after by collectors from all over the world, Arunodaya holds all his pieces close to his heart. His goal in the future is to showcase traditional Newari designs at a global scale and make people aware of the unique art culture in Nepal as well as establish a museum for all his pieces for the generations to come to admire and feel pride of the truly unique pieces of wood carvings. #ChaseYourDreams #DreamsComeTrue #DreamersAndDoers #MadeinNepal #Nepal #Nepali #PossibleChaSabai

class="content__text" Featuring @sneha_shrestha_vegan • Before 2014, Sneha Shrestha had never imagined she would be running an animal shelter or working in the field of animal rescue and treatment due to her background and experience in trekking industry. She wasn’t an animal lover until she adopted two puppies for whom she found a soft spot for. Due to an unfortunate event, her beloved puppy, Zara, had passed away in her own home. The guilt of not being able to protect a member of her family took a toll on Sneha and her mental health. For this reason, in 2015, Sneha founded Sneha’s Care, an animal shelter to treat, rescue and protect community dogs among other abandoned animals, all in the memory of Zara. Coming across community dogs that had been mistreated and malnourished, Sneha realized that packs of biscuits were not enough to feed these dogs.  She started rescuing dogs from the streets and placing them in kennel clubs, in hopes they would be living in comfort. However, she noticed that the conditions of these kennels and the daily fees she had to pay weren’t going to be sustainable.  With support of her husband and family, she started her own shelter to provide animals with utmost love and care. As the days passed, her love and dedication for animals became stronger, and she founded a farm animal refuge to help even more animals, as well as becoming vegan in the process. As of today, Sneha’s Care is home to 170 dogs, seven pigs and several cows. The organization is also currently involved in spraying and neutering campaign to control population of community dogs. She is an advocate for the “Adopt; don’t shop” movement and encouraging people to adopt local dogs rather than spending thousands on breed dogs. In future, Sneha hopes to close down her shelter as she hopes to see all community dogs live in loving homes where they are treated with love and care. #ChaseYourDreams #DreamsComeTrue #DreamersAndDoers #MadeinNepal #Nepal #Nepali #PossibleChaSabai

class="content__text" Featuring @legion.np • As it goes with many young people, video games are a great way to connect with people from all over the world and make new friends through the means of the internet. Many of the greatest friendships happen when the same passion is shared amongst a group. The same can be said for Team Legion, a team of e-sports players who started out as strangers playing video games online and are now a brotherhood on the path to change the perception of e-sports in Nepal.   Team Legion was formed back in 2020, when five friends came together to play a new game that had just been released, Valorant, and to form a team that could perform at an international level. The game that brought the team together, CS: GO, had just come to an end but had left behind a bond that was a start of a brotherhood. Together the team would play online for hours, practicing their skills and making most of the situation during the 2020 lockdown. Since the gaming industry in Nepal is still in its infancy and most people still don’t believe it to be a viable career path, Team Legion struggled to find support and sponsors for the various tournaments they participated in. However, their passion and dedication towards e-sports has made them quite popular among the niche gaming community. As of now, they are the top performing players of Valorant in Nepal and have won Beyond eSports Valorant Starter Cup and Mayhem Invitational Tournament. Alongside, they also won 3rd place in International tournament, Eslang Cup Week 1 and Week 2, and were runner-ups in the 1st Nepal Bhutan VCC Qualifiers.   With the increasing popularity of gaming and e-sports globally, Team Legion hopes to make a change in the gaming scene in Nepal and prove that video games can be turned into a career. In the coming days, Team Legion hopes to participate in more tournaments locally and internationally and one day hopes to organize a tournament in Dasharath Rangashala.   #ChaseYourDreams #DreamsComeTrue #DreamersAndDoers #MadeinNepal #Nepal #Nepali #PossibleChaSabai
