Donation to Nepalese origin Bhutanese refugees

Saturday Januray 24, 2009 Jacksonville FL

FNA organized a successful donation trip of computers, printers, clothes, utensils, electronic items and furniture to the Nepalese origin Bhutanese refugees in Jacksonville. Early that morning, a van full of these items started its journey from Miami making stops in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Orlando and finally reaching Jacksonville in the afternoon. This drive had items donated by the Nepalese community specially concentrated in South Florida.

In all we had collected 8 computers, 1 printer, 4 bags of clothes, furniture, utensils and kitchenware. We also collected $285 cash to cover the expenses for the trip. These items were handed over to the Nepalese origin Bhutanese refugees at their premises in Jacksonville in the presence of Mr. Rajeeb Lamsal.

I would like to thank all the contributors for this event in making this a grand success. My special thanks goes to Jacksonville natives Mrs. Kopila Acharya, Dr. Dharma Acharya and Mr. Rajeeb Lamsal who have been helping the refugees since the very beginning.
