Gaurika Singh is currently in Nepal with her parents and she has been engaged in a lot of activities. The youngest Olympian at Rio 2016 was invited by Dil Bhushan Pathak to his show Tough Talk that airs on Kantipur. The talk show that is considered as one of the best TV shows in Nepal had Gaurika along with her mother, Garima Rana Singh. The UK based swimmer was also invited and felicitated by president Bidhya Devi Bhandari at Shital Niwas.
Earlier this week on Wednesday, Singh was declared as the Goodwill Ambassador for Maiti Nepal in the fight against human trafficking by the founder Anuradha Koirala. The 13-year-old later donated an amount of Rs. 200,000 to the organization. She handed over the cheque to the CNN Hero at Maiti Nepal. It was the amount that was awarded to her by the Nepal Government for representing Nepal in international events.
Last year in April when Singh was in Kathmandu to compete at the national championships, she had donated her winnings from the competition to a charity to rebuild schools damaged by the devastating earthquake.
Gaurika is not only the youngest Olympian but probably the youngest Nepalese philanthropist as well. And what makes us even more proud of her is that she donates her own earnings, not her parents’ money.
This little girl has a heart of gold. Respect!
