"It's not just about you living, you have to try making your world a better place. If I give them good education and everything, tomorrow there will be less crime. They won't be facing the same thing that their parents are facing. These children have opportunities because they are educated." A 20 year old girl, Pushpa Bashnet , built the courage to become a loving and caring mother to the innocent children living in jail with their parents who were serving time for their crime. 6 years back, Puspa Bashnet, A student from the Bachelor of Social Welfare, visited the Women’s Cell in Kalimati Police Station, Kathmandu, as part of the her field study, where she met a one year child living with her inmate mother, who was recently transferred there from other town near Kathmandu.
