A vigil will take place in Coimbra next Saturday, September 2, at 3:30 PM, in front of the Church of Santa Cruz. The event is in memory of the flood victims in Nepal, which occurred on August 26, resulting in over 1,300 deaths and approximately 5,000 people missing.

This initiative is promoted by the Nepali community in the city and aims to pay tribute to those who lost their lives and those who remain missing due to the tragedy. The ceremony is open to the public and also seeks to foster solidarity among participants.

The organizers expect a turnout from various members of the local community and the university, creating a space for reflection and mutual support in light of the losses suffered in the affected region.
