A special highlight of the program was the felicitation of Kul Bahadur Gurung, General Secretary of Nepal Mountaineering Association, who was elected as the General Secretary of the Mountaineering Association.

The first annual general meeting unanimously approved the annual progress report presented by Secretary Kaushila Gurung and the financial report submitted by Treasurer Lakshmi Gurung, marking a significant milestone in the center's journey of service and impact.
Upon returning to Pokhara from the UK, Jayanti Gurung Jule, the coordinator of Sanjivani Didi Bahini Center UK, contributed a total amount of Rs. 20,200 to the Gurung family, who are residing in Ward 8. Out of this, Rs. 5,000 was provided by Jayanti Gurung Jule herself, and the rest, amounting to Rs. 15,200, was collected through various contributions, including a heartfelt donation from an elderly mother expressing her wish for her son to study at the 'UK Alder's Gate School' in Gumba.
Yesterday, on the 7th of Asar, 2077, the amount was handed over to the affected Mangasingh Gurung through a check transfer. This generous act was coordinated by the Treasurer of Sanjivani Didi Bahini Center, Lakshmi Devi Gurung, under the leadership of President Bina Gurung and Secretary Kaushila Gurung. We express our sincere gratitude for this noble initiative and salute the Baba Aamas and other contributors in the UK who made this support possible. Special thanks to Coordinator Jayanti Gurung Jule for her dedicated efforts.🙏🙏🙏
