Parbati Pandey
General Board Member
I have been deeply involved in education and social work throughout my life. From 2062 to 2078, I served as a teacher, passionately dedicated to nurturing young minds. Currently, I am honored to
serve as the Administrative Head of Global Village Open Way Education Garden, where I continue to support holistic learning and educational development.
Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree with a major in English. During my teaching years, I not only taught academic subjects but also conducted scouting training sessions for students,
fostering discipline, leadership, and social responsibility. My commitment to scouting led me to become an Advanced Scout Master and a proud board member of the local Scout Executive
Committee.
Since childhood, I have been drawn to social work. My journey began in primary school when I joined scouting, inspired by both my inner calling and the societal challenges I witnessed. This early involvement shaped my lifelong dedication to service and compassion.
A year ago, I was privileged to join the board of the Project Nest Foundation of Nepal (PNFN), an organization devoted to supporting the most vulnerable members of our society—impoverished
children, orphans, and half-orphans. PNFN provides them with access to quality education, nutritious meals, and safe shelter, serving as a true guardian in their lives.
I feel immensely proud to be part of this selfless organization, which I see as a sacred temple for those in need. I remain committed to supporting its noble mission in every possible way
