Ladies Circle Nepal2018-19

Half Yearly Report

Ladies Circle Nepal started their journey with lots of fun attending Ladies Circle International AGM, held

in Haugesund (Norway). LCN President Cr. Arti Agarwal, LCN Secretary Cr. Priya Goenka and LCN

Fellowship Convener Cr. Sunita Roongta attended the event.

In Norway they interacted, learnt, had loads of fun and most importantly made circler friends for life. “To

Travel is to explore and to be enlightened about the world”. Circling is all about making new friends and

working for the people who need us. With our motto “Choose to Shine” we tried to do various activities

in all possible areas and work towards the betterment of the society in any way in which we can

contribute because a lot of small changes bring a large change when combined just like many drops make

an ocean.

Fellowship:

• 1st NEX was conducted with a Silver & Blue dress code. The afternoon was made amazing with

the beautiful decoration. Décor was completely according to the theme. The enthusiasm of all

circlers was worth noticing.

• 2nd NEX theme was “Jungle Fever, Be Bold and Be Wild.”

Dress code was white. The decor was praise worthy. The

fellowship theme was, ‘Be Wild n Naughty, why should boys

have all the fun?’ We celebrated the time filled with many fun

activities like sundowner, Tharu dance and Night out with 32

girls in the middle of a jungle safari. The Fellowship was a

grand success filled with moments to be cherished by all.

Fund-raising

• Lucky Draw Raffle Ticket Charity Fund-raising Program was the biggest fundraiser in the history of

LCN. We distributed 2,029 Tickets. The total amount raised was NPR Rs. 2,379,000/- (€18,522

Euro) out of which Rs. 2,029,000/- was from tickets and Rs. 350,000/- from sponsorship. It was a

successful event . . .With this money raised we wish to construct the classrooms for Amari

Adharbhut School to help them grow from Primary school to Middle school.

Projects:

• Under our National

Project Choose.

Educate. Inspire.

Choose to give better

Education, we have

decided to construct the

Middle school at a Govt.

school called Amari

School, where the

principal has been

serving for the past 15

years. There’s only room

enough for primary

school currently. They

need some cemented

flooring, some

reconstruction and 3

classrooms to go from

primary to secondary

school.

• A day care facility for the

children suffering from a disability

Cerebral Palsy, wherein they have

this disability by birth and require

a facilitator and physiotherapy.

Currently there are only 5 such

facilities all over Nepal, but we are

planning to build the 6th facility in

Bhairahawa, where there is

currently a need of the same.

Any other Event:

• Hurraayyyyyy!!!!! GREAT NEWS on the way-

The biggest achievement of LCN this term midway is that we were able to form a new circle in

Kathmandu. Now we are a team of seven circles.

Our LCN President attended the extension of Kathmandu circle; we have proposed the joining of

17 prospective circlers to join the Kathmandu Royal Ladies circle. This is a big achievement for

Ladies Circle Nepal.

Vision for 3 Months:

According to our motto for the year, ‘Choose to Shine’

we have a vision for every month, November was

Choose to be Wild & Naughty; December is, Choose

to Give-be kind. We had decided that in the month of

December all the circlers would donate 5 things to the

needy.

We have chosen January as, ‘Choose to be Healthy’, free from all mental illness, February has been

chosen as, ’Choose to Plant a Tree and swatch (Clean) Nepal.’ We wish to celebrate LCI day by the motto

of, ‘Go Green.’
