2017年的三月也和前幾個月一樣營運順利。每個住在雪巴育幼院的孩子整個月都很乖，孩子們忙著準備期末考，院方則忙著照顧孩子們。
三月4日親師會
親師會是Holi 天使公立學校(註1)學年度行事曆之一，配合加德滿都文化獎的頒佈舉行，我也應邀去觀賞孩子們的表演。 雪巴育幼院的大多數孩子們在團體舞蹈演出相當精彩。育幼院的孩子們有些緊張，但是對於演出感到相當興奮，全力以赴做出最好的表演。

三月12日五彩節
尼泊爾人慶祝Holi(五彩節)，或稱為色彩節，是印度教的節慶。五彩節連續慶祝兩天，第一天在尼泊爾的丘陵地慶祝，第二天則在平地慶祝。
五彩節是尼泊爾的國定節日，全國人民對朋友與家人撒色粉，節慶當天也邀陌生人一起慶祝。人們用水球或水槍裝滿有顏色的水，許多民族從一個地方到另一個地方，在街上唱歌又跳舞，街上行人會互相灑色粉和水，但因為是節慶所以大家並不介意。
根據傳說故事，五彩節象徵神明戰勝惡魔，或是良善勝過邪惡。

三月最後一週期末考
尼泊爾的公私立學校全都忙著期末考。所有的學校必須在三月底完成期末考，四月13日前發成績單。
2017年四月14日是尼泊爾的新年，新年之後開始新的一學期。目前孩子們忙著考期末考，我忙著訓練孩子們獲取最好的成績，希望他們可以比一般情況多升一級。維持他們的學齡非常重要，所以他們全都在努力讀書。
期末考之後孩子們有10天的假期，學校會在新年之前發布成績。
