Katuwal Family

Tal and Maya Katuwal Family

Maya, govin, trenika, and tal with gagan gurung

Among some of the most recent newcomers to St. Louis are the Tal and Maya Katuwal family, having arrived January 27.

Both had been expelled from Bhutan while they were children, along with thousands of others. For more than 20 years they have lived in a refugee camp in Nepal. That is where they met, where they were married, and that is where daughter Trenika and son Govin were born.

Though they have been St. Louis residents for less than a month, Tal has already stepped up to assist the CFNA Home Furnishings Team with moving furniture, and Trenika and Govin have begun attending the After School Tutoring program at the Peace Center. The family is also considering the possibility of participating in the New Life Fellowship which meets regularly Sunday mornings at the Peace Center for worship.

Pictured in the photo is Nepali Ministry Facilitator, Gagan Gurung (right), delivering a welcome package to the Katuwal family. Included are blankets (large package – compliments of Lutherans in the St. Louis area), as well as personal items, cookies and candy in the smaller package.

Please join us in welcoming the Tal and Maya Katuwal family.
