Journey of a Red Fridge

This is a story of a Nepali boy, who has to work as a porter to support his family and studies. This touches your heart, in such a way that this is a story of all Youths from deprived community throughout Nepal. For all of us, who have enough to eat and have support from family to go to any schools within the country or abroad, but sometime forget our duty and tend to stray a bit away from what we supposed to do, this story is a lesson for us. Otherwise, it is time for us to seriously re - examine our values and attitude towards life.
