Helping hand distributes clothes

Beldangi, December 28: Helping hand- Bhutan, a social organization established in July 2005 with an aim of promoting social activities, has distributed at least 150 pieces of clothes to most vulnerable people in Beldangi-II.

According to its Coordinator GS Giri, the organization had collected those clothes from different schools in Kathmandu. “This sort of help in midst of the assistance curtailed by aid agencies would certainly help people in camps to manage their basic living”, Giri said.

Helping hand-Bhutan initially named as Bhutan Students Circle (BSC) earlier also distributed about 300 pieces of clothes to fire victims in Beldangi-I.

Currently, donor agencies including the UNHCR have curtailed the budgets for clothing to exiled Bhutanese. People in camps are already reported to have faced shortage of woolen clothes with the cut-short in facilities. Bhutan News Service
