Review Usthi Event 2022

This year’s Usthi event on September the 24th offered the opportunity for a lively exchange and a unique insight into the projects. Usthi looks back on a successful evening.

Usthi was particularly looking forward to an exchange with all the guests at this year’s Usthi Fest, after no festivities could take place in the last two years. The celebration took place in the parish hall in Maur under the motto “simply personal”. Under Nepalese flags and between colorful flowers, the evening was filled with exciting conversations and deep insights into the projects in India and Nepal. The event gave all participants the opportunity to ask questions about the projects, the work and the motivation of the Usthi team and the board of trustees.

Project presentation – but different: Instead of reporting on the projects as usual, we let project participants, partners and employees from India speak. You could not be there last Saturday? You can find the interview with one of the 40 healthcare workers from the health network in the jungle region Somagiri in our media library.

Buffet à la India: Thanks to the great support of many volunteers and the contributions of various sponsors, the buffet was given an Indian touch from the aperitif to the main course and dessert.

India to go: Our guests eagerly participated in the raffle. The first prize was a scarf made in the textile processing centre in Hyderabad by graduates of the professional skills courses. Delicious chai was not only available to taste at the buffet, but also to win.

Usthi would like to thank all guests for their great interest and numerous attendance, as well as all sponsors and supporters for their valuable commitment.
