In a parallel universe our very own Jorebungalow Diary Ground.
A big What if.!!!

Edit: Prayash Rai

Every kilometer tells a story of hard work and sacrifice. Vivek Lama (Jojo) has successfully completed the 21K marathon in Darjeeling, demonstrating that real victories are achieved through dedication and perseverance long before the actual race day.

This accomplishment is not merely about running 21K; it is about consistently showing up every day, even when no one is watching, and pushing through the challenging hills of Darjeeling with discipline, patience, and heart. Truly inspiring.

Living upto the motto of our club "Let's Inspire". 🙇🙇🙇

We are thrilled to share that on 10th November, our very own brothers Samten, Sangay and Adib—three talented youths at the peak of their strength and spirit—successfully summited Annapurna Base Camp and proudly hoisted the YFC Jorebungalow flag at the top. 🏔️⚽🔥

In a place where the headlines often highlight the negatives, our youths are rewriting the story of Jorebungalow with courage, unity and purpose. Through football, community service, adventure and discipline, they are showing the younger generation that real pride comes from hard work, passion and choosing the right path.

From hosting community tournaments to donation drives and clean-up campaigns, YFC Jorebungalow has always stood for positive change. And today, this achievement at Annapurna is not just a climb—it’s a message:
👉 When youths rise, the whole community rises.
👉 When we choose sports over social evils, we choose a better future.

To all the young ones in Jorebungalow—
✨ Stay inspired. Stay united. Stay away from drugs and negativity.
✨ Choose dreams that take you higher—just like our brothers did.

Let’s keep the Jorebungalow spirit alive, and let the name of our home always fly high with pride! 🖤💛

YFC Jorebungalow – For the Youth, For the Community, For a Better Tomorrow.
