Ani Choying Drolma shares that the selfless ‘sewa’ spirit of Manavsewa Ashram strikes a chord with her own spirit for giving. For her, investing in human service brings lifelong satisfaction and symphonic, inner peace. She paces forward wherever needed; she stood for the Mechi-Mahakali National Rescue Journey and the Ashram’s hands-on nightly rescues. From the relief of a vulnerable, abused blind mother in Kageshwari, Kathmandu, to securing emergency aid and fresh vegetables for the makeshift communal kitchen for Rasuwa flood victims sheltered at the Ashram, her dedication simply comes from genuine compassion.
