Orphaned Children Selected for International Yoga Competition Face Financial Hurdles
Summary
Six orphaned children from Namuna Bal Griha in Urlabari, Morang, have been selected for an international yoga competition in Italy but are struggling to raise the more than Rs 21 lakh needed for travel and related expenses. Despite strong performances in Nepal, India, and Malaysia, the ashram says it cannot cover the cost without donor support or government help.
Key Points
- Six children from Namuna Bal Griha in Urlabari have qualified for an international yoga competition in Italy but lack the funds to travel.
- The children have already won medals and top placements in provincial, national, and international yoga events in Nepal, India, and Malaysia.
- Namuna Bal Griha founder Mina Baral says the ashram is burdened by debt and has not received concrete government assistance.
- The ashram is appealing to donors and authorities to help cover visa, airfare, and other expenses before the competition deadline.
