Kalita is happiest when she is on the football pitch. When teachers came round each class and asked who was interested in playing football at school, she was the first one to stand up. Her friends laughed because they thought that girls shouldn't play football but Kalita has shown that sport can transform lives. Her studies have improved and her parents say that they will only think of her wedding after she has been educated. In Nepal, many girls do not get the chance to go to school and are married at a young age. For Kalita, education is the main issue in her life, not marriage.
