Dear CQNA Family,

What a wonderful year we had in 2025. We had the events with greater success and bonding. Thank you 🙏for all your hard work and support.

Towards the end of this year, I would like to wish you merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New year 2026🎇. May prosperity flow in your life as always.

I would also like to take this moment to announce the new trend we are planning to cultivate in our CQNA culture; Award for "CQNA Youth". This award is specially for the youth who spend limitless time and pour their heart for CQNA.

I am happy to announce that we have chosen the most deserving Youth for the year 2025.

CQNA youth 2025: Miss Nisita Purja.

Nisita has been involved with the CQNA community since 2017. In 2017, She landed to Aussie land and directly participated in CQMA cultural program representing CQNA which was covered by 7 News and she became talk of the town. Since than she has participated in numerous cultural events for us.
She is the inspiring youth who is blessed with dancing skill. She did not get professional training for dancing but the skill is running through the family. Her grandparents, Mother, Aunty&Uncle including younger sister "Baby Apurv Joy" are all dancers.
Her contribution to the Nepali Cultural dance and language through her "Nisi Dance Class" in 2025 is one of the milestone for CQNA community.
This is your perseverance that so many Nepali kids including Boys are eager to learn Nepali Dance now. We are thankful to you Nisita for your contribution to the Nepali culture and dance.

We want to award you with
" CQNA Youth 2025".

*The certificate will be provided in coming AGM.

Best wishes to Nisita Purja for her future endeavours.

Kind regards

President
Akal Limbu.
