In a bid to reach to the deprived community of the society, who otherwise are left out from various elements of life, like entertainment, Nepathya the folk-rock band of Nepal, is performing at shelters of Underprivileged Children’s Educational Program (UCEP) and the Rug Mark Foundation situated in Sanothimi, Bhaktapur on February 18.

A press statement issued by nepa-laya said, the series of Nepathya entitled “Nepathya for All” has reached to the children and women of Maiti Nepal, the street children of Kathmandu and those living at Bal Mandir.

Nepathya performed first for the children and women of Maiti Nepal on the 23rd of December, second for a gathered mass of some 700 street children of Kathmandu at the CPCS premises in Dillibazar on the 4th of January 2005 and third for children of Bal Mandir (Nepal Children’s Association) on 24th January.

Children, adolescent and women living in the shelter of UCEP includes, rescued child labourers and underprivileged students undergoing technical training. “Apart from children living there, other children living in similar shelters across the valley including juvenile offenders are also expected to join the show,” the statement adds.
