The Help Nepal Network is organising a special musical concert at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 28 June in aid of the earthquake survivors of the Gurkha district in Nepal.
The district of Gorkha was within the epicentre of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25 2015. More than 8,000 people have died and thousands of others have been injured and/or rendered homeless. Over 500,000 buildings, including schools and health centers have been destroyed.
The Help Nepal Network was at the forefront of providing relief to survivors of the earthquake. With this concert they aim to raise funds that will significantly aid the rebuilding process in Nepal.
Many senior and well-known Nepali singers will be performing on the night, including Deep Shrestha, Om Bikram Bista, Yogeshwar Amatya, Dipak Thapa Magar, Jems Pradhan, Sujil Karmacharya and Trishna Gurung.
Renowned journalist and host of Kantipur TV’s popular talk show Fireside, Bhusan Dahal will host the event's proceedings.
There are over 350 Nepali restaurants in the UK, their numerous suppliers plus Nepali businessmen in Europe. The Gurkha regiment celebrated 200 years of the service to the Queen on 9 June 2015.
