Kanak Mani Dixit, a senior journalist, is conducting the quiz at the event. Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) Programme Nepal, an organization that provides Clean Building Technologies solutions for Nepal, is one of the main sponsors of the event.
Chin Cabrido, coordinator of the event, said, “It’s a general quiz contest in which we’ll divide the participants into teams and ask them questions from general knowledge, science, current affairs, music, environmental issues and so on.”
The contest will have four rounds, and five questions will be asked in each round.
There is no fixed number of participants and there are prizes for winners.
“The targeted participants for the quiz contest are mainly tourists, but anyone who is interested to enjoy their Friday night in a quiz contest can participate,” Cabrido informed.
Adopt a Community Project has been currently implemented in Wards 4 and 7 of Nilkantha Village in Dhading through community-building efforts.
“Adopt a Community Project is an initiative to turn a village into an ecological community,” Cabrido said, adding, “This is a pilot project and we’ve been making efforts to transform the community through specific interventions which include installation of improved cooking stoves, toilet facilities, education, market for agriculture, livelihood promotion and so on.”
“We installed improved cooking stoves in 140 households in the VDC in July 2010,” she said.
She informed that CEN won’t leave the village unless it completely becomes “a green community.”
“We will also implement this project in other places after it is successful in this village,” she added.
The registration fees raised from the participants will directly go to the project.
The collected funds will go to specific projects, such as toilet installation, building an artificial pond for livestock, irrigation for production, and marketing of milk.
The project also plans to support Sunrise English Boarding School in Dhading with computers, toys and outdoor games and environment teachers.
Tickets for the Quiz Night are priced at Rs 300 each and are available at CEN’s office at Kamaladi and all Royal Alina’s outlets.
