KATHMANDU: Mercure Kathmandu Sukedhara Heights, a five-star hotel in Kathmandu, has extended financial assistance to Cancer Care Nepal (CCN), an organisation supporting underprivileged cancer patients with their treatment.
Deshbandhu Basnet, proprietor of Mercure Kathmandu, handed over a cheque of Rs 500,000 to actress Manisha Koirala, honorary chairperson of CCN, during a programme held on Monday to launch Zaiqa, a new restaurant specialising in authentic Indian cuisine.
During the event, actress Koirala expressed her gratitude to the hotel for its support, emphasising that the contribution would be vital and meaningful for cancer patients. She stated that she hopes for long-term collaboration between the hotel and the organisation.
