Nepal is a place of utmost hospitality and grace.
The freedom flags sway elegantly in company with the wind’s chase.
Since a number of ever-changing moons the ground in the once peaceful place has been tragically shifted.
It’s our responsibility to help this beautiful country and have the people uplifted.
Please take a moment to think about what you acquire.
Think about what is in your heart and what does one really require.
The Nepalese Scholars Association
This association is fairly new and yet it has already made it’s mark in showing students what the group is all about. They have been determined and courageous in everything they have done. The association started up a “Nepalese Earthquake Relief Support” Facebook page and started building momentum in bringing awareness to students and the city of Kelowna. It has risen an effort towards supporting the earthquake victims in Nepal.
.
Next, the association started a bottle drive for the Shree Bashukee School in Nepal. Moreover, they currently have a GoFundMe page as well. –> https://www.gofundme.com/NepSA-UBCO

To conclude, having traveled to Nepal a couple years ago and having friends and family over there, makes this association really hit ‘home’ for me. They are such an inspiration to me and to all students at UBCO.
