Nepal Seattle Society is one of the most valued nepali organization in Washington state. We have been successful in maintaining good relationship and harmony with our neighboring organizations and assisting eachother in need.
This time of the year NEYPVAL (Nepal Elder-Guided Youth Partnership Vaccination Accessibility Liaison) Team collaborated with Newah Organization of America (NOA) in the occasion MHA puja on 10/26/2022 to provide updated information on flu and covid.
MHA Puja, which in Newari means “worship of the self,” honors one’s inner spirit. The ritual denotes an auspicious start to the New Year and bestows riches and longevity to those who take part. Wherever Nepalese have settled, MHA Puja and Nepal Sambat are also observed.

This event was successful with the presence of two team members from the NEYPVAL team, Subekshya Regmi, the Executive Director and Shubhechha Shakya, the community engagement and IT coordinator. Small goodies were distributed to children and adults which included hand sanitizers, lip balm, stationary supplies, and the survey form.
They were also very successful in thanking the President, Ishwor Lal Khosin in person and handing him a thank you certificate which was made by Shraddha KC, the communication and digital content creator. There were about 100 bags of goodies which were made by Shubhechha Shakya with the help of two community ambassadors Aakarshan Simkhada and Soniya Kunwar.
The team also provided 2 trays of sweets to NOA to represent the culture of celebrating festivals within the Nepali community. The team was successful in collecting enough surveys for the data collection. Most people were amazed to find the role of Nepal Seattle Society in a good cause like this. The team received good spotlight in the event. As a token of appreciation NOA gifted two bags of “Masi poh” to the team members.
Thankyou Newah Organization of America for this wonderful opportunity
