About me

You are welcome to my personal blog. I am Kapil Dev Regmi, a graduate in English Language Teaching, Education and Sociology. Now I am a student at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC. My area of research is lifelong learning in developing countries. This blog (ripples of my heart) is my personal inventory. It includes everything that comes in my mind. If any articles or notes in this blog impinge anyone that would only be a foible due to coincidence. Also visit my academic website (click here)

Many Days Past without writing


The end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 were spent in Rukum, Dang and Salyan, where I visited as a consultant with Mr. Yoga Raj Pokharel. We went for field data collection for evaluating the Rewrite the Future Program of Save the Childre. I will write in detail when I complete writing the report.
