Suraj Pangeni

Why we should receive the grant:

Hi my name is Suraj Pangeni. I am originally from Nepal residing in Christchurch. Cricket is as popular in Nepal as it is in New Zealand. Cricket is one of the best sports in Nepal. But because of the lack of infrastructure and proper materials lots of talents cannot come up. There are lots of young talent who can not afford to buy a cricket gear( bat, pad, stumps, gloves etc). They want to play but can not afford to buy all those gear. Similarly the ground is not good. When I go to hagley park( not the oval) to play cricket I wonder how maintained the ground is. The international stadium in Nepal is not as good as the park grounds in New Zealand. It’s always my wish to support the young people who love to play cricket in Nepal. Every time I go nepal I buy couple of gears. But due to my financial status I cannot buy more. Now with the help of ANZ I can see the future of the young talent back to my country. I know you might be thinking why we should help someone who are not our people because they are not in NZ. But if we believe world is a single Home then they are also your people. And I personally believe we need to help who needs it. Thank you very much
