Olof Palme Peace Foundation International Headquarters in New York is pleased to announce our partnership with Lekhanath Sapkota, Executive Director of Olof Palme Peace Foundation International Nepal, which is located in the capital, Kathmandu. Lekhanath is also Chairman and Chief Executive Director of Lekhanath Dairy International and a representative of the Nepalese dairy industry.

Together, OPPFI HQ and OPPFI-Nepal will be co-hosting conferences in Kathmandu, Nepal this summer between UN affiliated NGOs and the local authorities to discuss economic and medical assistance for COVID-19, which is currently affecting the country.

A Big tree has fallen in to a big lake and a big lake is dried because the son of a she-elephant has crossed the lake and is gone home to his ancestors’ land until we all meet again.
Kenneth Amos, the Co-Founder and Executive Vice President of the Olof Palme Peace Foundation International, New York has gone home to rest. We the members are all dumbfounded and speechless for him to go the moment the tree he has planted and watered is about to bear fruit. Though his loss has not been in vain for he is still pursuing in the spiritual realm, beyond time and space, the success of the Foundation. We miss him because he was generous to a fault. Without him, we could not have built the Foundation. He gave all that he had and sacrificed in any way to uplift the Foundation. He even went to Atlanta Georgia trying to open a chapter there. He also went to California for the same purpose.
I bear witness that Kenneth Amos has lived a life of value. His name and sacrifice for humanity will be recognized whenever and wherever the Foundation is mentioned. He has thus joined the rank of the great people who come to this world and accomplish a mission that saves humanity.
So KENNETH AMOS, we have not lost you. We will work on your foot step and under your guidance everyday to harvest the fruit of your tree into the barn.

Thank you,

OSORONKO NANA-YABANI
