Southall Travel extends support to Nepal Earthquake Relief by sponsoring the Raas Garba dance event, which was held on Sunday 10th May, 2015 in London.

1. London, 18 May 2015: Southall Travel, Britain’s biggest consolidator for flights and holiday deals to
Asia, sponsored Raas Garba, a cultural dance event held on Sunday, 10th May, 2015, to raise funds
for the victims of the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal late last month. The venue for the
event was Oasis Banqueting Hall in London.
All the proceeds from the dance show will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) in aid
of the Nepal Earthquake Relief.

2. Sponsored by Southall Travel, Raas Garba was presented by Sonia Raichura and featured
noteworthy performances by the Sangeet Sarita Group UK, a cultural group in the country well
known for music genres like Bhajans, Mehfils and Garbas.
According to the reports, nearly 8,000 people have died and thousands more have been rendered
homeless by the devastating earthquake that hit the Himalayan country on 25th April, 2015. Plenty
of tourist places, including UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley have been
destroyed by the quake.
“We share the grief and the loss of thousands of Nepalese people. We pray to god to rest the
departed souls in peace and give strength to their families to deal with the tragedy,” Mr. Jaymin
Borkhatria, Southall Travel’s Director of Sales, said.
Mr. Borkhatria, who had expressed hope for Raas Garba to be greeted by an enthusiastic response
from the people, further said, “People, businesses, agencies and government organisations from
across the world have come together to support Nepal in this hour of need. We are proud to be a
part of such a noble cause and hope that this event will gather significant funds for Nepal and will
encourage others to actively participate in the cause”.
