AN INSPIRING LOVE AND CHARITY
We often hear of "charity begins at home." A young Nepali bride and an Australian bridegroom have put into practice what has been preached for centuries.
S. Shrestha and Mr. M (Name shortened for their Privacy) recently wedded, requested their guests to donate money for two charities in Nepal and Australia instead being lavished by wedding gifts. They chose Help Nepal Network and the Australian Heart Foundation as the recipients of their generosity.
Not many young couples starting out in their new life would so readily forsake the gifts that would have brought them so much comfort and memories of their guests.
S. Shrestha and Mr. M raised over A$2800.00 (two thousand eight hundred dollars) and each of the above organizations received half of the money raised. This is truly a story of love, sacrifice and dedication.
S. Shrestha surfed the net and discovered HeNN and its activities. She was not only convinced HeNN was going to be a recipient of her generosity but also volunteered to be an active member. She was part of the team instrumental in making the recently held fund raising musical concert/dinner in Sydney a successful event and she will continue to make a difference to the lives of many children of Nepal .
HeNN Sydney would like to take this opportunity to thank the new couple wishing them many years of happy married life and would also like to share this with the global HeNN.
