Progress Report of NRN NCC Denmark since August 3, 2009 Under the leadership of Mr. Som Nath Sapkota, NRN NCC Denmark was founded on 3 August 2003. Around hundreds of Nepalese attended during the congregation program at the premises of Nepal Embassy in Denmark. An election was held for the president however the other designations for the ad-hoc committee were elected unanimously. The first meeting of NRN NCC Denmark was held at Nørrebrø Park in Copenhagen on 6th August 2009. The meeting focused on collecting an immediate relief fund to the diarrhea affected people in Jajarkot, Rolpa and Rukum Districts of Western Nepal. As an initial effort for the social works, the members of executive committee were able to collect around 92000 NRs which was later handed over to the acting His Excellency Ambassador Mr. Dora Nath Aryal on 11 August 2009. The aim of NRNs is also to unite Nepalese by preserving the national cultures by celebrating them. In this regard, the other remarkable achievement of the NRN NCC Denmark was to host a Teej festival on 23 August 2009. Within its little resources, (at the cost of 1100 Danish Kronor), a grand Teej festival was organized at the premises of Nepal Embassy in Denmark. Mrs. Sarsoti Bhusal was the coordinator for the Teej program. Around hundreds of women from different parts of Denmark participated the Teej celebration and enjoyed Nepali native environment. A short speech delivery program was also held during the function. Various speakers from women and NRN NCC Denmark Committee delivered the views on importance of Teej festival and extended regards to all the participants. While in the conclusion part, NRNA Denmark president Som Nath Sapkota extended his sincere thanks to women participants with warm greetings on behalf of the NRNA Denmark on the auspicious occasion of Teej. In the occasion, acting honourable ambassador Mr. Dora Nath Aryal expressed his commitment to help NRN Association Denmark in the future programs that are organized by NRNA Denmark. Besides social welfare and cultural preservation, NRN NCC Denmark also aims to coordinate with other Nepalese organizations that exist in Denmark. Nepal Danish Society is a unique social organization in itself in Denmark. It has been working for several years back as a social networking and interactive forum for Nepalese who were bound to live in Denmark on the marital reason. It was because, a few Nepalese who either got married to Danish women or Danish men wanted to maintain traditional Nepali rituals and festivals in Denmark, a new European land for Nepalese. To fulfill the aim, the President and Secretary General from NRN NCC Denmark participated in the Nepal Weekend, a three days program from 21 to 23 August 2009. In addition to its coordination works, a Dashain Party was also jointly hosted with Nepalese student’s organization NDSF (Nepal Denmark Student’s Forum). All the executive committee members and other interested people contributed for the program. The cost for the program was approximately 18000 DKK. In the Dashain celebration, around 450 Nepalese from different parts of Denmark and officials from Nepali Embassy in Denmark also attended and enjoyed the blissful native evening. While the program was ongoing all the participants exchanged greetings and best wishes to each other. In the celebration, Nepalese dishes were served. In the following Dashain festival, many Nepalese also took part in the Dashain program hosted by Nepali Embassy in Denmark on 27 September. Since NRN NCC Denmark has only been founded on 3 August 2009 that approximately counts the duration of two months it has successfully carried out various social welfare and cultural preservation and unity programs. NRN NCC hopes to extend its charity programs in the near future for which it is working at its full strength.
