Kathmandu: At a recent holiday ceremony U.S. Ambassador Frank distributed 100,000 rupees to ABC/Nepal (represented by Ms. Durga Ghimire, president), 22,200 rupees to Active Women of Nepal (AWON) (represented by Barbara Brown, president), and 100,000 rupees to WOREC (represented by Renu Rajbhandari, chairperson).

The donations represent the proceeds of a charity piano concert held at the Hyatt Hotel in early December, last year.

ABC/Nepal and WOREC will use their donations expectedly for programs aimed at combating women and child trafficking.

Likewise, the AWON will use its donation for 10 additional scholarships for poor rural girls. The following is the picture of the event.
