“Despite working remotely and with students who faced language and confidence barriers, Ms. Novyanna demonstrated extraordinary compassion, patience, and perseverance.”
— Gunakeshari Pradhan, Chairperson at WIIT
“RAIN has provided the students with skills that have allowed them to grow confident in the classroom. All students have been taught how to effectively give presentations. The team provides them with feedback to help them improve their public speaking. We have noticed a real improvement in how students present their ideas. They are becoming more comfortable speaking in front of others and participating in classroom discussions. ”
“The curriculum that RAIN uses is very well-structured, helping students grasp the fundamentals of research and project-based learning effectively. The consistent use of progress-tracking forms ensures students stay accountable throughout their learning journey. Novyanna has created a truly encouraging environment where students feel safe to experiment, learn from feedback, and continually improve, rather than worry about getting everything perfect on their first attempt. Thank you so much for introducing this impactful program and giving our school and students such a wonderful learning opportunity!”

“It has been a privilege for CanHelp Nepal to collaborate with Novyanna and the RAIN team. Having helped facilitate the connection with our partner schools and attended several of their live sessions, I was thoroughly impressed by their preparation, professionalism and engaging teaching style. Working together has been a seamless and rewarding experience. I am proud to support Novyanna and her exceptional team. ”
“On behalf of CanHelp Nepal, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Novyanna and the RAIN (Research, Analysis, Innovation, Nurture) team for their outstanding online educational initiative. By connecting high school mentors in the US with government school students in Nepal. this project marked a significant achievement in advancing technology driven learning for our students.
The RAIN team delivered an incredibly effective curriculum, equipping students with essential skills in research methods, topic analysis and digital presentation design. Throughout our collaboration Novyanna and her team demonstrated exceptional reliability, communication and flexibility in adapting to local school schedules and holidays. Having already completed successful sessions across three schools earning high praise from educators and students alike we extend our sincere gratitude to Novyanna and her team for their unwavering commitment. We look forward to continuing this impactful partnership Best wishes ”

“Novyanna is a strong leader for her team. Classes always feel cohesive even with multiple teachers. Each teacher makes super easy to follow tutorials for outside of class use, which has really helped the students reinforce what is being taught. I believe Novyanna’s biggest contribution has been her initiative to take STEM education beyond the usual classroom experience. She has made it possible for students to explore subjects more deeply, research on ideas, and work on projects of their own. That kind of exposure can make a lasting difference in how children approach learning.”
“I am pleased to state that RAIN was managing the arrangements of a large number of students very efficiently. The TEAM divides students into four smaller groups which has made considerable difference in participation. Classes have become far more productive. The students actively took part and completeted the different project work which enabled participants to build up confidence level. In these groups, students work together on ideas and attempt things by themselves rather than just listening to the teacher.”
