“You are privileged to live in this affluent society [US]. But by skipping a monthly dinner, you could probably sponsor education for one child in your village,” he added.

Gurung sang a new song from his upcoming album.

Koshi ko paani yo zindagani…
Salalala bahijane ho harura…
Aamako kokhma baas matrai liye ni
Kun desha ko maran ho hajura…

The show ended with Nepathya’s rendition of Gopal Prasad Rimal’s song composed by Amber Gurung and sung by Phatteman and Amber Gurung –Rato ra Chandra Surya…, according to the statement.
