Slough, UK, August 7, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Khalsa Primary School in Slough, Berkshire, hosted a special recognition ceremony during its annual Sikh Camp, honouring humanitarian leader Narpinder Kaur Mann BEM for two decades of service to the Sikh and wider community.
The ceremony, attended by hundreds of children as well as the President and members of the Slough Gurdwaras and Gurdwaras Committee, recognised Mann’s work as Director of Global UNITED SIKHS and United Humanitarian Sikh Aid, and as CEO and Founder of the Immigration Surgery/Helpdesk.
The recognition was held during the Sikh Camp, an initiative focused on teaching children the values of seva, discipline, community service, Sikh history and faith. Through prayers, service projects and workshops, the camp seeks to help young people understand and practise Sikh principles in their daily lives.
Mann’s humanitarian work includes helping repatriate the bodies of 64 international students and others from the UK to India since the Covid-19 pandemic. Her work has involved coordinating with bereaved families, government departments and authorities in both countries to facilitate the return of loved ones so that families can conduct their final rites with dignity.
The importance of this work was underscored by a recent case involving Kirandeep Kaur, who was tragically murdered in Hayes on July 12, 2026.
Mann helped coordinate the repatriation of Kaur’s body to India, working with relevant UK and Indian authorities and government departments. Her body was subsequently returned to India, where the final cremation rites were performed.
Kaur’s family expressed gratitude to Mann for supporting them during the difficult period and helping navigate the repatriation process.
The Slough Gurdwaras and Gurdwaras Committee praised Mann’s sustained commitment to seva, highlighting the compassion, dignity and practical assistance she has provided to families facing bereavement.
For the children attending the Sikh Camp, the recognition also offered a tangible example of how the principle of seva can be translated into sustained humanitarian service.
