“Nepal ko Yuwa is planning to organize more WfN events throughout the US in near future and around the world in the long-term,” added the statement. The organizer is expecting to make Walk for Nepal an annual event.
Friends of Maiti Nepal (FOMN), Empower Dalit Women of Nepal (EDWON), HELP NEPAL Network (HeNN), Nyaya Health, and Nepalese Children’s Education Foundation (NCEF) will participate in the walkathon in Boston. Rock for Nepal, an organization that aims to promote and elevate Nepali rock music scene to international standards, will present a concert at the end of the walk.
