NAMASTE AND GREETINGS FROM NEPAL !!!

We believe that you and all your loved ones are in a good health. Thank you very much to all our partners, donors, past volunteers, well wishers and all individuals for all your support, sacrifices and belief towards humanity.

We are indebted for all your love, care and most importantly your continuous motivation to create smiles on many faces, supported under our projects in Nepal for over 19 years in a row and continuing.

If you are planning your Nepal visit soon, please don’t hesitate to contact us for any kind of support to make your travel easier.

 

The covid circumstances had created many obstacles but it is almost under control through vaccination program. But the continuous new variations are headache for many of us.

Nepal government also has alerted about the possible expansion from other neighboring countries but requested not to be panicked. The government of Nepal has decided to conduct local elections on May 13, 2022. So, the election campaigns have been running high these days.

This has risen the people’s movement, promotions and have been requesting to vote their candidates.

Besides this, the ongoing war has made the hike in petroleum products that has raised the cost of all necessary goods making difficulties in our daily lives.

Apart from above, the good news is Nepalese government has already opened its border for all and Nepalese entrepreneurs are eagerly waiting to welcome international guests with safe & best hospitality to help explore the physical and cultural jewels of Nepal.

You can Visit Nepal and support our economy either to celebrate your personal holidays or social / business purpose.

Thank you again for showering your love and care to our organization.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy!!!

Regards,
