Celebrating Partima Sherpa: Heroes of the year 2023-2024!

On this special day, we extend our heartfelt birthday wishes to Partima Sherpa, a remarkable athlete and a shining beacon of inspiration. As a proud member of the 7 Summits Foundation, Partima has not only made history as the first female to win a golf championship in Nepal but has also set numerous records that underscore her exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.

Her achievements go beyond the golf course; Partima is the first Nepali woman to receive a scholarship to study and play golf in the United States, paving the way for future generations of female athletes. Her journey exemplifies resilience and determination, proving that with hard work and passion, dreams can indeed become a reality.

As Partima continues to excel in her endeavors, we celebrate her commitment to empowering youth and promoting environmental awareness through her involvement with the 7 Summits Foundation. Her efforts inspire young people to pursue their passions while being mindful of their impact on the planet.

Happy birthday, Partima Sherpa! May this year bring even more success and opportunities as you continue to break barriers and inspire others on and off the golf course. Here's to your bright future!

Dear Resilient Community of Nepal,

In the aftermath of the recent floods, our hearts go out to all who have been affected by this devastating natural disaster. We recognize the immense challenges you face, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this journey.

Humanitarian organizations, local leaders, and compassionate individuals worldwide stand in solidarity with you. Together, we are dedicated to providing the support and resources necessary to help you rebuild your lives and restore your communities. Your strength and resilience inspire us all.

Over the weekend, Nepal experienced some of the worst flash flooding in its history, resulting in over 200 lives lost in Kathmandu and the surrounding valleys. The heaviest monsoon rains in two decades fell on Friday and Saturday, submerging large areas of the city and washing away entire neighborhoods, bridges, and roads. The Bagmati River swelled more than two meters above safe levels.

By Monday afternoon, officials reported 204 bodies recovered, with at least 30 individuals still missing or stranded, and hundreds more injured. Many of the deceased were passengers on buses swept away by the floodwaters.

As we address immediate needs, we are also focused on long-term recovery efforts to prevent future disasters and enhance community resilience. We encourage you to seek assistance and support one another during this challenging time.

Remember, hope and healing are possible. Together, we will rise again.

With deepest sympathy and unwavering support,

AC Sherpa

KATHMANDU, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Nepal is grappling with severe flooding and landslides that have resulted in at least 66 fatalities since early Friday. The relentless rains have disrupted domestic air travel and closed major roads, with officials warning that the death toll may rise as 69 people remain unaccounted for and 60 others have been injured, according to home ministry.

The Kathmandu valley, which houses approximately 4 million residents, has been particularly hard hit, with flooding paralyzing daily life and traffic. Rescue operations are underway, utilizing helicopters and rubber boats to reach individuals stranded on rooftops and higher ground. Some areas have recorded up to 322.2 mm (12.68 inches) of rainfall in a single day.

The heavy rainfall comes after a delayed retreat of the South Asian monsoon, leading to swollen rivers that have overflowed onto roads and bridges, further complicating rescue efforts and regional stability.

My heartfelt thanks for taking the time to catch up today. It was great to reconnect and discuss the continued partnership between NYUDS and the 7 Summits Foundation.

Your insights and commitment to our shared goals are truly inspiring, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Together, I believe we can make a significant impact in our communities.
