Yeti Airlines offers orphans dream flight to Mount Everest

By Tue Sep 10, 2013

In celebration of Children’s Day, Yeti Airlines will be organising a special flight to Mount Everest this Saturday for 18 orphans from Bal Mandir, Nepal.

Yeti airlines offers wide community support by contributing large donations to four social organizations such as the United Mission to Nepal (UMN), Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity and Care Nepal.

“We have always been very serious about helping the community. It gives us great pride and happiness to bring smiles to these little ones in however way we can,” said Roshan Regmi, Marketing Manager of Yeti Airlines.

It has been reported that Bal Mandir has been facing economic crisis for the last ten years and its future looks bleak. As a result, around 400 children, who live in different branches across the country, are not getting proper food, education and health facilities. 

“We thank Yeti Airlines for taking the initiative. I hope it opens the door for other private companies to support these children as Bal Mandir is going through a rough phase financially,” said Subhash Pokhrel, General Secretary of Bal Mandir.

This will be a unique experience for me. I had only heard about Mount Everest, but will be touching it on Saturday. This is something beyond my dream and I would really like to thank Yeti Airlines from the bottom of my heart,” said Kabita Gurung an orphan who will be boarding the flight on Saturday.

As a special treat the children were accompanied by respected veteran Actor Mr Hari Bansha Acharya and his wife Ramila Acharya.
