Message from President

I take pride in leading this great organization which has been at steadfast pillar of Nepalese people by continuing to be there to share happiness & joys in days of cultural & national significance as well as providing emotional & social support to its members and wider Nepalese people living in Canterbury region. I am extremely grateful and feel privilege to lead this organization and have seen our organization grow strength by strength . We have been able to deliver some amazing programs and initiatives throughout & are committed to continue working for the betterment & welfare of our members. We have just recently added musical instruments for our traditional " Panche Baja" which I am sure will go a long way in promoting our Nepalese culture. Nepali language class has been going strongly with around 40 children attending the class and we are quite excited for the year ahead.

I would like to thank all our members, supporters, partners & sponsors for your continued support.
