The camp was graced by notable visitors, including District Secretary Rtn. Gautam Shrestha, Public Image Chair Rtn. Chhongba Sherpa, and President-Elect Rtn. Binod Lama of RC Greenland. In recognition of their support, certificates and tokens of love were presented to SP Kabit Katawal of the Police District Office Morang, and the medical staff of Ramlal Golchha Eye Hospital.
The camp was organized within a total budget of Rs. 11,600/-, benefiting 175 people.
