[theme-reviewers] Five for The Future

[Sakin Shrestha]

Hi Tammie and Greg,

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I too have small theme shop (Catch Themes). We
have been contributing by reviewing themes, contributing free themes,
speaking at WordCamp and co-organizing WordCamp, Nepal. It's great pleasure
to help community and contribute to WordPress. I am so thankful to
WordPress Foundation and all the people contributing to WordPress.

Hope to see you all at #WCSF 2014.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Sakin
