FAB Story - Sri Ram Timilsina

Excellent college with dedicated and aspiring people in a  beautiful location at the corner of city in a walking distance. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff, our contact person Mr. Karki, and the enthusiastic students with openness, creativity and willingness to learn. At the first visit i was thrilled by the warm hospitality from the staffs and students. I am deeply touched with the innovative practises and the life enriching practical education that the school is offering. Initially planned for a single visit but couldn't stop myself from going there the second time. An example of a radical change in existing educational platforms. Love and Gratitude to the entire team. Best wishes !! Sri Ram Timilsina Non violent communication practitioner

Away from city, Gate Vocational FAB School is relaxing. Invited as a guest speaker, I was introduced to a group of 20 students. Students there; were reverent, full of gentleness, interested and with learning attitude. The hospitality that GATE offered was over-whelming. Not only as a guest speaker but while visiting GATE as a normal guest, the hospitality is over-whelming. I think the students there are clearly reflecting what FAB is. Moreover, the hard-work of FAB insiders is all visible in students there. Would love to visit FAB often. God bless all students there. Pramesh Pokharel Advisor,  Leo Club Of Pokhara Central Valley

As I flash back and think of GATE Vocational FAB school the thing that reminds me is the scenic beauty, peaceful weather and the warm hospitality offered by the students. Being invited as a YOGA instructor i feel very delighted that students participated so well in my yoga session 🧘‍♂️ and they continued thereafter. Inner wellbeing is very necessary in today's busy and stressful life which is possible only through yoga. Different seminars, workshops conducted by FAB school are beneficial for students in different phases of their life so students must consider themself lucky. Lastly I extremely thanks to the GATE team for warm hospitality and would love to visit soon if i get further opportunity.

FAB Story- Rezon Dhungana (Darshan)

I describe Gate Vocational FAB School as a token of paradise on earth. Located in a very silent place right outside the main markets of Pokhara, GATE Vocational is a place with a recreational as well as refreshing environment. And when I am talking about GATE Vocational, I can't forget to mention the food and the hospitality there. Even a normal food has a great GATE Punch. And the feeling of hospitality starts right before you enter the gate of GATE Vocational. The serving techniques, the venue itself triggers the crave to be there time and again. If anyone would ask me to rate GATE out of 10, I would rate it 11. Rezon Dhungana( Darshan)  Founder,  SochCraft

FAB STORY - Smriti Baral

0n Jan 2020,  I was invited as a Guest Speaker for a day at GATE Vocational FAB school Located at Chorepatan, Pokhara. Every Friday is named as a fantastic Friday there.  I was introduced to the new batch of the school that was recently enrolled. The very first thing I noticed about the school was the hospitality, The hospitality offered by those students cannot be expressed into words. So much serious about their works. Another beautiful thing which catches my eyes was that ,they were so happy with what they were doing. Most of the time, students don't feel happy about what they are doing out of their education but the case was very different there. They seem to be very happy about what they were learning. The implementation of education in practical life was clearly reflected in the way they were working. Apart from this, the environment of the school is quite relaxing. Taking education in such a beautiful natural place is very important for everyone. while I started

It was a great pleasure to meet such disciplined and motivated circle of people at Fab school, Pokhara. Their warm hospitality was absolutely breathtaking. I feel grateful for allowing me the opportunity to share my experience as a social activist in front of such enthusiastic students. Their energy, discipline, hunger for the knowledge and eagerness to learn amazed me. I often feel as if I learn more than the participants do. The peaceful environment, friendly and kind behavior of the students and the staffs of the school was the thing which fascinated me the most. I truly appreciate the invaluable experience I had at Fab school Pokhara.  Monika Ranabhat Province coordinator  Nepal Youth Counsil

Yoga & Meditation - A unique medicine for Vitamin D and Mental health in FAB School

Image
FAB School always keeps innovation and unique practice in its first priority. Keeping students and faculty engaged with positive energy, Yoga and meditation came up with a very accurate alternative to boost positive energy.  The majority of students at FAB come from a difficult family background which leads to heightened stress levels and can cause distractions to their learning. Some students have also dropped out from school early for a variety of unfortunate reasons. This can lead to gaps in their education and an inability to properly focus. After discovering this we introduced the yoga/meditation session which were generally performed in the morning time. This mandatory class gives them a chance to be in the sun and get some vitamin-D which is proven to be beneficial to mental well-being. For some of the sessions we have invited professional yoga instructors to take the class. The aim of the class is to improve the students’ performance capabilities. We believe

स्वस्थलाई प्रतिभाको रुपमा हेर्नुहोस्।

स्वस्थ अभ्यास गर्ने उत्तम तरिका भनेको यसलाई प्रतिभाको रुपमा लिनु हो जुन स्थिर बिकास र निरन्तर अभ्यासको आवश्यक पर्दछ। जस्तै उदाहरणको लागि तपाई कुनै नृत्य नाचलाई लिनुहोस्। सबै जना कुनै न कुनै तरिकाले नाचीरहेका हुन्छन् चाहे त्यो ढंगको होस् वा हेर्दै पेट मिचेर हास्ने। निरन्तर जस्ले अभ्यास गर्छ उस्ले प्रगति गर्छ। स्वस्थमा पनि सोही अनुरुप हुन्छ। कोहि जन्मिदै रोगी जन्मन्छन् भने कोहि हर्ताकर्ता।जो रोगि हुन्छ उस्ले आफ्नो जीवन निकै कष्टकर बिताएको पक्कै हुन्छ। उनिहरु सम्पुर्ण जीवन दुर्बल अशक्त रहि संघर्षमै बिताउन बाध्य हुन्छन् । तर कोहि जन्मदै जब्बर भएर पनि जन्मिन्छन् जसलाई बुढेसकालसम्म पनि कुनै रोगले सताउदैन। र धेरै जस्तो हामी यहि दुई उदाहरणीय जीवनको मध्यान्तरमा बाची रहेका हुन्छौ। तर हामी हाम्रो स्वस्थलाई भएको अवस्था भन्दा केही सुधारहरु भने पक्कै स्वागत गर्न सक्छौ।  स्वस्थ जीवनको नियमहरु निकै साधारण छन् । सबै कुरा संयममा गर्नु पर्छ। चिनीजन्य र प्रसोधन गरिएको खानाबाट बच्नुपर्छ। निद्रा पर्याप्त प्राप्त हुनु पर्छ। दैनिक ब्यायाम अनि दिनमा कम्तीमा एक पटक पसिना आउने काम गर्नुपर

The Kite without a thread

Image
Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He too asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he can fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son. His son started to fly a kite.  Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky.  After a while, the son said, “Father, It seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, If we break it, It will be free and will go flying even higher.  Can we break it?”  So, the father cut the thread from a roller.  The kite started to go a little higher.  That made a son very happy. But then, slowly,  the kite started to come down. And, soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised  to see  this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked

Art of Parenting - Education from Home

Image
We have also sought to improve the students’ lives at home. If a student is having problems at home, then it is hard for them to fully participate in the regular program at college. With one batch of students, we had a full-day session where the parents of the students came in for parental training. They were shown techniques on how to empathize  communicate with their child as well as give their general support. If a child does not feel supported, they are unlikely to succeed so the aim of this the session was to instruct parents on how to ensure their child feels supported. Family disputes and difficulties in the home are common amongst the kinds of families our students are from.   However, we wanted to get our message across to the parents that wherever possible they should avoid letting negative experiences at home become a distraction to their child’s education. We also wanted to curb any negative behavior and attitudes of the parents so that they coul

A lesson from Game - modern Curriculum

Image
To keep students from getting bored and losing focus we often introduce games that require students to work on teambuilding skills. Teamwork is in itself an important skill, but the exercise has another benefit. The games give students a break from the direct study of the curriculum but afterward we ask students to relate the game back to their studies in a handwritten report. Students write what sort of ‘lesson’ they learned  from the game/activity that could apply to their studies or their future career. All of these reports are kept so the students can see their writing skills improve as they progress through FAB. While this allows the students to have some fun in-between studying it also has the twofold benefit of improving writing skills and encouraging independent thought.
