Kathmandu, Jan. 5: The ngo tewa is to organise a 10-km march on Saturday on the occasion of its fifth annual function and the new century.

Likewise, Tewa is to host a seminar next month for representatives of organisations to which it has given grants. The seminar will identify their needs and problems.

An observation tour for representatives of women’s organisations launched with the cooperation of Tewa, a Tewa March-2000 and a two-day international seminar will also be organised, it is learnt.
