Aditi Paudel: Pioneering Japan's Literacy Advocacy

Aditi Paudel, a 17-year-old high school senior in Tokyo, has made history as Japan's first literacy ambassador. Her passion for reading ignited at a young age when her grandfather introduced her to the complexities of Devanagari script.

Paudel, who spent her early years in Nepal before moving to Japan, has been selected among 900 young participants from 101 countries in a program led by the World Literacy Foundation. This initiative highlights the importance of literacy in an era filled with misinformation.
