Prabal Gurung named goodwill ambassador of Maiti Nepal

 

KATHMANDU, MAR 29 -

Prabal Gurung— the young designer beloved by Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey to name just a few—is already known for being “from Nepal”. In this sense, perhaps he was already an ambassador of sorts before he became the official goodwill ambassador of Maiti Nepal, an organisation that staunchly works against human trafficking.  

“The suffering of millions of children and women, who have been trafficked and subject to various forms of exploitation can be reduced by those who realise that they have resources and abilities to support ani-trafficking initiatives,” says Gurung. He believes that the campaign against human trafficking can be strengthened by his unique contributions. Gurung, who recently recieved rave reviews for his fall 2011 collection has dressed some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Demi Moore and Sonam Kapoor. Maiti Nepal sees this collaborative step with the young designer as a starting point of support to the initiatives of Maiti Nepal. The organisation hopes to engage public awareness in its activities with the attachment of a popular personality like Gurung to its name.

“A society from free human traffickign is possible and we must realise that it is our responsibility to make this world a better place for all mankind. By simply stating our desire, we sow the seeds of great change,” says Gurung.

There has been a symbolic agreement between Maiti Nepal and Gurung to work together for the abolishment of human trafficking.

His willingness to be associated to Nepal is a commendable thing.

To the naysayers:

What do you see as the critical demerits of having a Goodwill Ambassador for Maiti Nepal? I am certain Prabal is not charging the Nepal Government, Maiti Nepal, or you personally to provide a spotlight to the issue of human trafficking with his celebrity status. The issue of human trafficking is quite widespead as you constantly get to learn. It is not a Nepali issue. Neither it's an Indian issue. It's a democratic and a legal issue.

Why don't the largest democracy (India) and the most assertive democracy (USA) try to bring this issue up in the next global meet solely based on humanitarian grounds?

Also , kudos to Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher for their persistent support for this cause. At least, these celebrities are trying to give back something significant to the society in their own ways.

It is natural that there are always going to be some nasty Nepali (often failure themselves) who will criticize even the act of purest heart. So, nasty comments like the one made by mankamanamaiko jaya is not a surprise.

But as we all know, hatti hiddai garchha, kukur bhukdai garchha. kahako Prabal Gurung, kahako sajhama bikh okalne jealous manakamanamaiko jaya.

Well said Pire. Prabal is walking the walk with his work and as a matter of fact he is an inspiration for so many young people.

I am appalled that almost all the victims are women or underage girls and a sajha member named "metalgal" is not smart enough to understand a woman's plight. No wonder she wants to hire a hitman to whack an ex.
