Birgunj, Nepal—On June 21, 2018, a UPF Ambassador for Peace Education Program drew 65 local participants in Birgunj, in the Parsa District. The program was chaired by Prof. Dr. Bishambhar Kumar Sharma. Ms. Shanti Karki, deputy mayor of the Birgunj Metropolitan City, was the honored guest and main speaker. I gave an educational presentation about UPF.
Congratulatory remarks were given by Hon. Milan Rajbanshi, former member of Parliament of Nepal. At the program, Mr. Gajendra Man Singh was appointed as Ambassador for Peace and Mr. Niraj Pathakote Magar as Youth Ambassador for Peace. We also appointed Dr. Sharma, the program’s chair, as the District Peace Council coordinator of Parsa District, which works under UPF-Nepal. Other Ambassadors for Peace and local leaders joined the program.
Later we had a very congenial meeting with Chief Minister of State No. 3 Dormani Paudel at the chief minister’s office in Hetauda. He responded to our congratulations with his offer to extend his support to UPF-Nepal.
