Deepa is an 18-year-old scholar attending STF partner school Kopila Valley in Surkhet, Nepal. She suffers from Lupus, a kidney disease, and so she hopes to one day become a nephrologist in order to help others who suffer from similar issues. In the meantime, though, Deepa loves to cook and to write poetry — and when the She’s the First team last visited our partner in Nepal, she presented them with this beautiful poem upon their arrival.
