4 September 2025:

His Majesty The King joined 7,050 volunteers contributing zhabtog (community service) to develop public spaces and parks across Gelephu Mindfulness City.

A total of 7,050 volunteers are taking part in the program, including residents of Gelephu and nearby areas, Gyalsups and Desuups. Volunteers from outside Gelephu include Members of Parliament, various agencies, DHI and its companies, Bhutan Red Cross, Judiciary, NGOs, and community groups from Tsirang, Dagana, Pemathang, Phuentsholing, Trong, Mendrelgang, and Nganglam.

The mass volunteer program, being held from 4-8 September, was developed following overwhelming interest from people across the country to participate in building GMC. They will work under expert coordinators to clean and clear areas identified for parks, install benches, water points and toilets, and beautify various parts of the GMC.

His Majesty thanked the volunteers for their service in helping to build GMC, which represents the collective aspiration of the people of Bhutan to create a lasting legacy that will benefit generations into the future.
