A purely personal venture for peace, as we launch this video we hope to awaken the conscience of our fellow Nepalis for the sake of our children and for the sake of our future. We, as responsible and aware citizens should play a part in the peace process in our own way. Let us let our children live their childhood in peace and happiness."
