Dubai-based Nepali expatriate Manoj Marahatta is offering free counseling and relief aid to the victims of devastating floods in Nepal, despite being thousands of kilometers away from his homeland. Manoj, born in Nepal's Gorkha district, has a personal connection to those affected as some of the 35 people on a bus that was swept away were from his own village.
Two passengers managed to escape while the rest were lost, with their bodies still unaccounted for. Manoj, who founded the Dubai Nepalese Influential Group, has been actively involved in relief efforts by coordinating with volunteers and providing essential items like food and sanitation. Furthermore, he has encouraged sports and entrepreneurship to bring people together during the crisis.
Marahatta has also praised the UAE for its active support and humanitarian response during this challenging time.
