Tharu people : habitat conflict and modernity

When I was 15 I fulfilled one of my dream : to go to New-Zealand for one year for its nature and wildlife.
I then knew it was possible : one day I will be a photographer documenting nature and people on this planet. When I came back, I became the assistant of a photographer in Paris who taught me about post-production but nothing about how to publish in National Geographic... After one year with him I went to Nepal for a volunteer assignment for a NGO working to protect tigers. When I arrived there, I learned it was cancelled but as my return ticket was one month later, I decided to make the most of it and came back with some good images. Since, I spend my time making pictures.
Step by step, I'm getting closer.
This scholarship wouldn't be a step but a jump! From a beaver I'd become an eagle! Photography is my means of expression, I feel stronger and focused but I don't know how to proceed.
What you offer is all I need to learn.
I've got the feeling to work in the dark. Yet, I would like my images to "shine", to play a part, so that my skill be useful, just a little.
I think images can change the world, just by making it known, to start with...
So, please, make me an eagle!
