I am truly overwhelmed by the resounding success of our recent single mum’s event. The vibrant energy and active engagement from the audience were nothing short of remarkable. Moreover, witnessing those heartfelt moments that stirred emotions, during the panelist discussions, the screening of our short movie, and the touching mother-daughter duet dance, deeply reinforced the significance of our cause.
I extend my deepest gratitude to each and every member of our dedicated team. Without your unwavering support, tireless dedication, and hard work, this event wouldn't have achieved the success it did. A heartfelt thank you is also due to our invaluable volunteers, Rita Panta MJ Merina whose selfless contributions ensured the seamless ex*****on of every aspect of the event. Special thanks to our unsung heroes Niva D Bajracharya and Shikha Basnet Khadka for their invaluable contributions, and who provided last-minute support, ensuring the venue was returned in the same condition.
