Namaste and warm greetings to all! As the President of Gulmi Jilla Samaj UK, it is my privilege to address you and share the incredible progress we have made as a community and the exciting plans we have for the future. Together, we stand united as Gulmeli in the UK, committed to fostering a sense of belonging, engaging in charitable activities, and building strong connections with our motherland, Nepal, particularly our beloved Gulmi District. United Gulmeli in the UK Our strength lies in our unity. As a community, we have come together to celebrate our culture, traditions, and shared heritage. Our gatherings, festivals, and cultural events are not just social occasions but also opportunities to reinforce our bond. Let's continue to support and uplift each other, ensuring that every Gulmeli feels a sense of home and family here in the UK. Charitable Activities Our commitment to giving back has always been a cornerstone of our community. Over the past year, we have organized numerous charitable activities, from fundraising events to support those in need, to contributing to educational initiatives and healthcare projects in Gulmi District. These efforts are a testament to our collective generosity and compassion. I encourage each of you to participate and contribute in whatever way you can, as every effort counts in making a difference. Expansion of Membership Our goal is to expand our membership and welcome more Gulmeli into our fold. A larger and more inclusive community means more ideas, more support, and more opportunities for everyone. If you know of any Gulmeli in your area who are not yet part of our Samaj, please reach out to them and invite them to join us. Together, we can achieve great things. Digitalisation and Transparency In this digital age, embracing technology is crucial. We are working towards the digitalisation of our processes to ensure better communication, efficient management, and greater transparency. Our new digital platform will provide members with easy access to information, updates on activities, and a seamless way to participate in our initiatives. Transparency in our operations is of utmost importance, and we are committed to maintaining open and clear communication with all our members. Connecting Motherland Nepal and Gulmi District Our roots run deep in the hills of Gulmi, and our connection to Nepal is a vital part of our identity. We are dedicated to strengthening these ties by supporting developmental projects in Gulmi District and promoting cultural exchanges. Our efforts to connect with our homeland will not only benefit the people of Gulmi but also enrich our lives here in the UK. Let's continue to bridge the distance with love, support, and active engagement. In conclusion, I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together and excited about the path ahead. Let us continue to stand united, support each other, and work towards the betterment of our community both here in the UK and back in Nepal. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication. With warm regards,

Rudra Thapa
