COMMITTED made a number of changes in 2013. We changed our board and administrators. Our website was also completely revamped.
COMMITTED representatives took part in the Walk for Nepal fundraising walkathons in two American cities: Washington DC and Dallas, Texas. In the former, COMMITTED were the co-organizers. The funds raised through them helped fund fisheries in Thangpalkot VDC and water and sanitation (WASH) project at Raithane School respectively.
