From Mahendranagar to Birendranagar!
An inspiring moment at American Corner Surkhet!

Prayanshu Khadayat, an 11-year-old , 5th Grade student from Little Buddha Academy, Mahendranagar (Kanchanpur), recently visited Birendranagar with his maternal grandmother. A passionate young reader, he was in search of a peaceful reading space—and he found just that at American Corner Surkhet.

Prayanshu loves exploring different stories and books, and also enjoys playing cricket, chess, and football. During his visit, he was especially excited to discover some amazing books, including the famous Harry Potter series. His joy and curiosity reminded us how powerful reading can be at any age.

Before leaving, Prayanshu promised that he would return to read more whenever he is in Birendranagar. His journey is a beautiful reminder that even from far distances, young minds seek knowledge and spaces that nurture their love for reading.

American Corner Surkhet is delighted to welcome readers like Prayanshu and remains committed to providing learning opportunities beyond boundaries

From Page to Stage!

On March 13th, American Corner Surkhet conducted a vibrant and inspiring Slam Poetry introductory session facilitated by Susmita Giri.
A brilliant collaboration with the Central Department of English at Midwest University and the Student Literary Circle. This high-energy event served as a dynamic stage for talented students from Kopila Valley and SOS Herman Gmeiner, who captivated the audience with powerful and moving live slam poetry demonstrations.
Beyond the artistry, this initiative was a transformative opportunity for young scholars to flourish. By engaging with the spoken word, students didn't just perform; they unlocked essential life skills, sharpening their public speaking, deepening their emotional intelligence, and building a radiant sense of self-confidence. It was a true celebration of creative expression and personal growth.
