EPSA -Newsletter October, 2022
Namaste dear EPSA Friends,
Now that we were overcoming the Covid times, and getting back to normal life, Nepal has been affected by an epidemic of dengue, and some of our girls also suffered it. Despite that, we are working hard to fulfill the orders on time, and we are very thankful to everyone to keep trusting and ordering from us.
We want to share with all of you what this last year has brought us and all the activities we have done and achieved.
Later on, Mr. SushilThapa from Diagnotech Support PVT. LTD. helped to build a wheelchair ramp. Here which is beneficial for all those who wants to visit us and are wheelchair users.
As we shared in the past newsletter, Supreme Master from Bodhi SattavVihar organization provided us help to reconstruct and renew a building for a better safety for our girls and to conduct the work. On November 2021, the same organization and some other guests, including the mayor of Tarakeshwar, inaugurated this renewed building.
You can see below pictures of that beautiful day.
At the end of 2021, on December, UrgenWangchuck and Janet Farr Parks, raised some money to purchase a mobility Scooter & Birgit Ninas friend from Germany raised Euro 2100 to buy a TVS Antrock for us to buy a new scooter. We are very grateful to you everyone. This is very helpful for us to move around, visit suppliers, clients, medical visits…Also We are very thankful to them and all the people who participate in the fundraising.
