Senior journalist Manoj Joshi donated Rs 21, 100 to the family of Prema (19) of Marek, Mahalaxmi Municipality-2 of Dhanuka district who has been battling with a rare bone marrow disease.

After The Himalayan Times, an English language daily newspaper in Nepal, published a news that Prema, a student of Bachelors in Science, has been struggling in her fight against acute leukemia, a rare bone marrow disease, at the Civil Hospital in Kathmandu owing to lack of sufficient financial resources, he provided the money to Prema thinking that it would help in her treatment to some extent. 

“Journalist Joshi's help is very important and valuable to us at a time when we are appealing for the people to help them to save the life of Prema,” Prema’s father Bishnu Kumar Rogu said.

Joshi said that he gets self-satisfaction when he helps the people who have not been able to get the treatment due to the financial crisis.

The senior journalist thinks that no one should die an untimely death due to lack of treatment.

That is why, Joshi said that the government should give special priority to health, education, employment and housing.

Journalist Joshi said that he feels proud and happy when a person he helps becomes healthy, strong and capable in future.

He said that he will give continuity to these kinds of social works in the coming days also.
