Starting on May 24, 2024, the Sambad Foundation held a successful week-long event called ‘Meet, Greet & Collaborate.’ The program began in Lumbini and continued in Chitwan. Members from ten districts, including Morang, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Rautahat, Sarlahi, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Chitwan, and Rupandehi, joined the gathering. The event helped everyone form new teams, learn from one another, and share work responsibilities. It was a great way to energize the members and prepare them to work together in their local communities.
