The founders of Perthshire charity Bring Back The Smile To Nepal have received royal recognition for their work in rebuilding homes in the country.
Anna and Sanu Gurung, from Kenmore, have received an official invitation to the Queen’s Royal Garden Party in Edinburgh next month.
The couple started their fundraising campaign immediately after last year’s devastating earthquake in Nepal.
The charity is currently rebuilding the entire village of Archanbas in northern, central Nepal. Every house in the community was completed destroyed during the earthquake.
Anna said: “We are so excited and so honoured. We have worked so hard to keep the campaign in the public eye, so to know that our efforts have reached the attention of the Royal Household is really special.
“Particularly as Prince Harry has done so much this year to keep the flag flying for Nepal.”
Each year the Lord Chamberlain’s office recommends a cross section of people that have contributed to British society.
The Royal Garden Parties are held annually at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Guests will enjoy an afternoon tea, in the presence of the Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
