MY STORY IDEAS:
Fighting HIV
According to the blue diamond society, the percentage of population of third sex people in Nepal is 8 to 10 percent of the total population. But the Nepali society is not positive towards them. Even they have been thrashed out from their homes. Although they have been misbehaved by their homes and the societies, they are campaigning against HIV. I would like to make a photo story about their struggle and their life style.
Community Forests
Now the world’s attention is towards the climate change due to global warming. In this case, the community forests have contributed in the reduction of carbon dioxide gas. They have also contributed to the development of internal tourism. The local people have also increased their economic status through the community forests.
Urban Waste Management
Dharan is called as clean town. But, due to the improper management of garbage from the homes, the town is going to be polluted. By this, the surrounding environment is going to be polluted and there is negative impact on urbanization. I would like to make a story in this issue.
