Giving Thanks
As we enter the holiday season, we want to thank YOU, our Mitrata family, for all you do to support Mitrata. We would also like to acknowledge our NGO partner in Nepal, Bhuvaneshwori Satyal Foundation (BSF) for their unending commitment to our children’s health and education. May your holidays be filled with joy, peace, and love.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Our sponsors and staff are back home in the United States, very ready to rest, recover, and… celebrate Thanksgiving! As we celebrate this year, there is so much for us to be thankful for; from celebrating 20 years of Mitrata, to traveling to Nepal for the first time in three years, our gratitude is overflowing. Thank you for the caring support of these beautiful children, for your generosity that has lifted them out of the cycle of poverty, and for your commitment to Mitrata’s mission through the years. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Dashain!
Every year, our children and staff celebrate the holiday Dashain at our Contact Center. Dashain is one of the biggest Hindu festivals celebrated in Nepal every year. It takes place in the fall season, which is typically during our months of September and October. The festival lasts a full 15 days or more, and is meant to celebrate victory of good over evil!
Giving Thanks
This holiday season, we reflect on all that we are thankful and grateful for at Mitrata: the health of our children, our partner NGO in Nepal, and the hard work that has brought us closer to an end to the COVID-19 pandemic.
