"Support Brings Nepali Student Struggling with Mental Health Back Home from UK"

A Nepali student, Vishal Dulal, who had been experiencing mental health issues and living homeless in the UK for almost a year, has returned to Nepal with the support of NRNA UK.

Dulal, a resident of Sindhupalchowk Melamchi-11, went to the UK for studies about two and a half years ago. However, after facing mental health challenges, he lived as a homeless person in parks and on streets in the UK. Recently, with assistance from NRNA UK, he was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London for treatment.

Efforts to bring Dulal back home had previously failed, even when a family member from Nepal attempted to persuade him. However, after persistent efforts from the Buddhi Foundation UK and the current Vice President of NRNA UK, Deepak Shrestha, Dulal finally agreed to return home.

NRNA UK's former Vice President Dipak Shrestha and the current President of Buddhi Foundation UK, Hit Kaji Gurung, played instrumental roles in facilitating Dulal's return to Nepal. The family had requested NRNA UK for support multiple times, and the organization eventually assisted in managing Dulal's return tickets and coordinating with the family.

NRNA UK President Hit Kaji Gurung conveyed gratitude to all members of the working committee, including Vice Presidents Deepak Shrestha and Sakuntala Gurung, for their financial and logistical support in arranging Dulal's airfare and making his return possible as per the family's wish.
