The Miss UK Nepal 2014 team organized the annual fundraiser event BEAUTY WITH PURPOSE on 8th of November in Harrow, London. This years fundraiser was in aid of MAITI NEPAL. The charity event was attended by many stakeholders from the Nepali community with the chief guest being NRNA UK President Yogen Chettri and Yeti Association President Umesh Raj Moktan. Miss UK Nepal 2014 1st Runner Up Sumi Shrestha, Miss UK Nepal 2014 2nd Runner Up Aarya Sharma and Miss UK Nepal 2014 Miss Talent and Miss Personality Sushmita Thapa came together to host the event.
The event apparently went live through RadioRhino.net! Fancy! The team state they are still receiving contributions from people all over and hope to raise between £2000 – £3000.
Well done to the team! Just a word, try to look beyond Maiti Nepal – that’s probably the easiest organization to fundraise for given it’s global popularity. Nonetheless, well done! Photos courtesy of Everest Gautam.
