Building Purchase  26 February 2019

Thanks all the donars for your donations. We are manage to settle the property by paying 35% down payment to the bank. To make this happen we want to appriciate & acknowledge all the donars.

To pay the downpayment we also took loan from some of our donars, which in total is $400,000. Now we have to reimburse this loan to them. Also rest 65% loan is given by the bank. So, we also need to repay the loan to the bank.

Also, in coming months the construction of the building to accomodate as per Gurdwara needs going to be start. updates will be posted here.

Thanks again all of you.
