Today, the cleaning program started a bit late as a function took place at the temple in the morning.So. Mr.Alok Tuladhar a volunteer of the Jana Bahal society shared the information about the 'Seto Machchindranath' as well as it's impact on society and the religious aspects of the temple.The volunteers of this group cleaned up the butter lamp posts surrounding the temple as well as the volunteers of our group namely Ayush,Bishwas,Pranish and Samyek also participated. The accessories such as brush and spatula were provided by the Jana Bahal society, the volunteers provided themselves with gloves and masks. The volunteers cleaned the oily surface which covered the butter lamp posts as well as the pigeons waste. The volunteers were bit unwilling at first but did finish the work enthusiastically in the end. This work does deserve a round of applause.

Feedback from the participants:

Tenzing Kunchok: The program was fun and enjoyable but due to lack of tools, we could not do our work effectively.

Ganga Tiwari: We did get to go to different places gaining experience from different places. The major drawback of our group is that the co-ordination was lacking.

Tenzing Tushi: The group members were good to work with. The thing that I did not like is waking up early morning for this work.

Juna Khatri: The members of the group are very supportive and enthusiastic to the work though at times the members were not punctual.
