The Himalaya Program at UBC is organizing two public events on Nepal‘s recovery after the 2015 earthquakes: a public lecture on Friday evening, September 15, at UBC, and a community forum on Sunday afternoon, September 17, at Robson Square. Please note that the community forum will be in Nepali, so it’ll be of most interest to Nepali-speakers.
If you’d like to attend either event, please RSVP via the Himalaya Program’s website (links below).
