About Reena Gauchan

Bi~Annual Zero Waste Community Gathering is on (around summer solstice June 15th ~ winter solstice December 15th) with Nepalese home-cooked ethnic vegan food, live music from our amazing generous local artists, wizard tarot, healing massage & henna art with beautiful like minded conscious community coming together to connect with new & reconnect with the old friends for a day full of magical time with great food and beautiful music to celebrate love life & friendship. I love cooking an what better way to offer to mass other than having it at my store @Kathmandu Boutique. It's been almost 9 years for hosting the gathering and we have build an amazing community, friendship and love for each other, it is a place to be for fun times and taste a unique authentic dish form Nepal. I start asking everyone to bring REUSABLS (PLATES, UTENSILS, COFFEE MUGS, CUPS, & NAPKINS) used to 12 to 15 bags of trash now i throw only one, It's a community effort that makes it all possible. I am asking for donations of $10 and more which will go directly to Selp-Help Group for Cerebral Palsy, Nepal, which I co-founded in 1987. Then there were no clinic, hospital, or help for cerebral palsy children. During our research we found that many of these children were either hidden or left inside the house all the time because there were social stigma, parents were either cursed because they were bad, or they were looked down for having a physically challenged child. Our main focus were to get a necessary help for the children and educate the parents and the community, now I am so proud to say that we have achieved that goal and treated over children & developed the program to educate the society and family. Now the center is thriving with the help of many donors from around the world and giving the children necessary vocational training, speech therapy, physical therapy & physical education.
