Thanks to every one of you for being a part of the Dil Fundraiser initiated by the virtual sajha family.

The handover was completed at 10:00 am on September 27th at the Ama ko Ghar. A check for Rs. 551,349.66 was handed over to Dilshova Shrestha on behalf of all sajha contributors. Also handed to her was a list of contributor names and messages.

Nepal Television and Avenues Television were present at the event and they were provided with sajha approved publication material, which then got edited to fit their own news guidelines.

Our own Rahulvai, of sajha.com is also due credit for constantly urging sajha.com to take this initiative. Without his continuous push, this would not have taken place. Also deserving mentions is the anonymous contributor who encouraged us to reach our goal by matching $500, and Amrish and Anup Karmacharya who both contributed $200 each. Special thanks also to my family members in Nepal who coordinated the handover.

Thanks once again to the generosity of all the following people and others who supported this endeavor. The raised amount will go a long way in providing assistance to Dil Shova to care for the destitute elderly and the children she is taking care of every day.

Sincerely,
San@Sajha.com

As a footnote, please be advised that any such sajha initiatives are never about sajha administrator, per se and more about the sajha virtual family at large and the impact we can have as a group. Attempts are made to not make such activities about publishing personal name but to recognize the effort and power of combined contributors for a deserving cause.





List of people who made it happen, to whom Dilshova ji extends hearty gratitude!
