The event, themed “Hike For A Purpose, Climbing Hills, Nourishing Minds – Every Step You Take Supports a Child’s Education and Nourishment,” aimed to raise funds for children’s education and well-being.
The hike attracted 30 participants, including 20 men and 10 women from diverse backgrounds. Notably, two FFLN board members actively took part, demonstrating their dedication to the cause.
Saroj Acharya, the Executive Manager of FFLN, expressed his gratitude, stating, “The ‘Hike for a Purpose’ was more than just a trek; it showcased a strong sense of community spirit. Witnessing everyone come together to support our mission of nurturing young minds was truly heartening. This success motivates us to launch even more impactful initiatives in the future, making a lasting difference in children’s lives. A big thank you to all the participants for contributing towards combating children’s classroom hunger.”
During the hike, participants bonded over shared stories and laughter, knowing that each step they took was a step closer to their fundraising goal.
