Message from President

I take pride in leading this great organisation, which has been a steadfast pillar of the Nepalese people by continuing to be there to share happiness & joys on days of cultural & national significance, as well as providing emotional & social support to its members and wider Nepalese people living in the Canterbury region. I am extremely grateful and feel privileged to lead this organisation and have seen our organisation grow strength by strength. We have been able to deliver some amazing programmes 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. The 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.
