Bipin Joshi’s Family Journeys to Free Him

A mother, Padma Joshi, and her daughter, Pushpa Joshi, from Nepal have flown to Israel to help save Bipin Joshi. Bipin is a young man taken by a group called Hamas while studying in Israel. This happened during a big attack on October 7, 2023. Bipin was learning about farming in a program called Learn and Earn, but now he is a hostage. The Israeli Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital city, helped Padma and Pushpa get on a plane. The embassy paid for their trip so they could go fight for Bipin’s freedom. They left early on August 11, 2025, hoping to bring Bipin home. Padma and Pushpa are also going to the United Nations (UN). The UN is a place where people from many countries work together to solve big problems. The family wants international support to make Hamas let Bipin go. They hope the UN will help tell the world about Bipin’s story. Bipin Joshi was studying with 49 other Nepali students in Israel. During the attack, 10 of his friends died. Bipin tried to save others by throwing a grenade away, but Hamas took him. His family saw a video of him being taken, but they haven’t heard from him since. They are very scared and sad. Pushpa, who is 18, says Bipin is her best friend. She misses playing and laughing with him. Padma, his mother, wants her son back home. They’ve talked to Nepal’s leaders, but now they’re going to Israel and the UN to ask for more help. Why does this matter? Bipin Joshi didn’t do anything wrong. He was just learning. His family’s trip shows how much they love him. They want international support to free him from Hamas. The Israeli Embassy is helping because they care about hostages like Bipin. Kids, think about someone you love being far away and stuck. You’d want to help, right? That’s what Padma and Pushpa are doing. Human rights mean keeping everyone safe. The UN can help make that true. In Israel, the family will meet important people to talk about Bipin. They hope their voices will bring him home. Let’s hope Padma and Pushpa succeed. A kind world helps people like Bipin Joshi. Share his story to help his family!

MrBeast’s Team Water Brings Clean Water to Nepal Village

In a small village in Nepal, getting clean drinking water was a big challenge. Villagers had to walk far to reach one water tap. They used cloth to try to clean the water, but it wasn’t safe. This made life hard and sometimes caused sickness. But now, YouTuber MrBeast and his Team Water project have changed that! MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, worked with his team and a group called WaterAid to help. They built three huge water tanks, each holding 15,000 liters of water. That’s enough to fill a big swimming pool! These tanks have a special purification system that makes the water clean and safe to drink. Now, over 300 people in the village can get clean drinking water without walking far. The water tanks are built to last a long time—15 to 20 years! This means kids in the village can grow up with safe water to drink, cook, and wash. The project is part of Team Water, a big plan to raise $40 million to help 2 million people get clean drinking water worldwide. MrBeast teamed up with other YouTubers like Mark Rober and the Stokes Twins to make this happen. In a video, MrBeast showed how the tanks work and how happy the villagers are. Before, they spent hours walking for water. Now, they have clean water close to home. This saves time and keeps everyone healthier. The Stokes Twins, who helped in Nepal, said it reminded them of their childhood when their grandfather walked miles for water. Team Water is also helping places like Malawi, Colombia, and even the United States. They build things like wells and pumps to make sure everyone has safe water. MrBeast says, “No one should live without clean drinking water.” His fans are donating to help more villages, and YouTube is giving $2 million to support the project. This amazing work shows how people can team up to solve big problems. Thanks to MrBeast and Team Water, this Nepal village now has clean drinking water for years to come
