'Guthi Bone Kuthi': Promoting Newari tradition and Culture through language

Over the course of the year, a group of two dozen Nepali students has convened every Saturday afternoon with a shared goal: to learn the Newari language and immerse themselves in its cultural dances. Spearheaded by Guthi Australia, a community-driven volunteer organization, 'Guthi Bone kuthi' has been established as a language school to impart the Newari language to Australian children of Nepali heritage.
