Dear NASeA Community,
We invite the Nepalese organizations in the cities, states or universities in Southeast America to submit application to be the host of the 9th NASeA ANMA Convention to be held during Labor Day weekend of 2013 during August 30 -September 02, 2013.
NASeA ANMA convention is one of the largest gatherings of people of Nepali origin in the United States where hundreds of participants from over 35 states, Canada and other parts of the world would join to share, interact and discuss issues and opportunities related to Nepali community, participate in networking, cultural, sports and numerous other enjoyable, informative and educational activities. We have seen an unprecedented amount of interest from various organizations in different cities and states to host the NASeA ANMA convention in 2013. This tells that the value and significance of the convention is being felt in every Nepali community (and beyond) in different corner of southeast and elsewhere in the United States.
For the year 2012, the ANMA NASeA convention in being held in Indianapolis and you could learn about it in the link https://www.jointconvention.org
The host organization of the convention this year is Nepalese Association in Indiana (NAI), in 2011 the host was Nepalese Association in Georgia (NAG), in 2010 the host was Kentucky Nepal Society (KNS) and in 2009 the host was Nepal Center for North Carolina (NCNC).
Beginning this year, we are making the process of selecting the host organization open and competitive so that all would have opportunity to show their ability to host a large convention and take part in the selection process. Nepali organizations in cities and states in Southeast America are highly encouraged to apply to be the host.
Here are the guidelines and considerations for the selection process:
1. The city or state Nepali organization has to be within the realm of southeast America region — Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky,Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee.
2. The host organization need to prepare a 7-10 minute powerpoint presentation and submit it to naseaamerica@gmail.com no later than, Friday, July 06, 2012 covering the following items:
•Brief description of their organization
•Why they believe hosting NASeA ANMA Convention in their city/state would benefit the Nepali community
•List of possible hotels in their city where the convention could be held with information of meeting room, catering, location, access, cost effectiveness etc.
•Their strengths and limitation in organizing a large event in terms of providing volunteers and other support and how they plan to improve on their limitations
NASeA executive committee will review the presentations and would invite them to present via webinar on Sunday, Jul 15 beginning at 3 PM Eastern Time in the following link https://www.anymeeting.com/NASeA1
Each applicant organization would get 45 minutes to present and answer questions in the webinar presentation.
The decision on the host organization will be made by NASeA executive committee, during its regular monthly meeting in third or fourth week of July 2012.
What the organizers (NASeA and ANMA) expect from the selected organization to be the host of 2013 NASeA ANMA Convention?:
1. Help the organizers (NASeA and ANMA) select the best hotel from the perspective of location, comfort and cost effectiveness.
2. Provide volunteers for different activities during the convention including but not limited to sports, cultural program, registration process, raising funds
3. There is no financial obligation to the host organization i.e. the host organizations need not provide financial support, but it should help the organizers (NASeA and ANMA) raise funds.

Namaste to all of you,
It was so nice to be with all of you yesterday in your town, Simpsonville and Spartanburg, SC. We were overwhelmed to meet and greet many enthusiastic members of the Nepali community from the different towns of SC, Ashville, NC, and beyond. It is our great pleasure to disclose the wonderful accomplishment of our blood drive jointly hosted by SCAN and NASeA on March 10 at Spartanburg, SC. A total of 33 big hearted individuals donated blood. We have by far exceeded the 18 minimum target set by The Blood Connections because of the relentless work by SCAN. The big hearted social HEROES of the Nepali origin were:
Remant K.C., Sarita Panthee, Narendra Baral, Piyush Upadhya, Ranjana Gupta, Shashank Gupta, Bimal Karki, Bishwa Thapa, Manish Shakya, Prayas Timilsina, Madan Adhikari, Satish Chandra Gupta, Bijaya Thapa, Pravin Poudel, Ganesh Basnet, and Narayan Luitel.
The blood drive would not have been so successful without the self-sacrificing volunteers:
Jyotsna Panthee, Jwalant Panyhee, Shristi Gupta, Shashank Gupta, Vedant Jung Thapa, Brandon Jung Thapa, Uden Shakya, Dina Khaniya, Ashreema Luitel, Sajan Shrestha, and Shakti Basnet.
Similarly, our generous sponsors, who contributed soda, water, juice, snacks to keep all hydrated, and cash to pay for a big pile of pizza to keep everybody full stomach and recognize our blood donors, volunteers and sponsors with an appreciation certificates were: Susila Lama, Dr. Dilip Panthee, Ranjana Gupta, Walgreens, Shakti Basnet, Bandana Thapa, Bimal Karki, Arjun Prasad Mainali, Dr. Nar Kaji Gurung, Manish Das, Sajeena Shakya, and Dr. Uma Karki. A detailed balance sheet of the income and expenses will be brought to you in a day or two.
Thank you so much Mr. President, Manoj Shakya and the SCAN team. You have initiated an exemplary SCAN and NASeA partnership. Your partnership to save lives was above any applause and admiration. The potluck gathering in the park followed by holy (Phagu) was unforgettable. The food was splendid. You were not less than the chefs of a five star hotel. We will try to replicate some of your excellent organizational skills in the upcoming community events “blood drives.”
I cannot stop without recognizing the following names: Satish Gupta, Manish Shakya, Shakti Basnet, Piyush Upadhya, Manish Das and the SCAN team. I thank you so much for your hard work for the past two months. I would like to request NASeA executive body to join me in order to express sincere gratitude, appreciation, and a big round of applause, and appreciation for our big hearted blood donors, generous sponsors, true volunteers, and the whole SCAN team for their outstanding accomplishment and a historic partnership with NASeA. We look forward to hosting another blood drive sometime early in 2013 in your home town, SCAN friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Please click here to file a petition against this gross violation
Dear Nepali Community,
One of the missions of Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) is to advocate for human rights and yet, in front of our own eyes we witness not only a gross violation of human rights but a modern day slavery that our Nepali sisters are suffering in several households in Lebanon, a middle east country, where they have come as migrant worker to earn wage for their families back home.
Here is a tragic incidence of our Nepali sister Lila Acharya who was allegedly killed following abuse and servitudes in Beirut, Lebanon.
https://www.guardian.co.uk/news/video/2012/jan/30/beirut-death-nepalese-migrant-video
https://www.simbarusseau.com/nepalese-migrant-domestic-worker-lila-lebanon/
NASeA is doing a petition drive from all like-minded organizations and individuals to send a strong message to the following authorities and agencies urging them to take immediate and adequate measures not only to safeguards the rights of migrant workers in Lebanon (and elsewhere in the middle east countries for that matter), to provide a safe, abuse-free work environment but also to bring the abusers, violators/ culprits to justice.
NASeA strongly requests
Government of Lebanon: to bring strong laws, acts and statutes that protect the lives of migrant workers and that penalize household employers who abuse migrant workers. NASeA also urges to conduct a thorough investigation of the above tragic incidence to bring the concerned to justice.
United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNCHR): to monitor and track violations of human rights that occur in households that hire migrant workers in Lebanon or other country and hold the country accountable for such act.
Government of Nepal to strongly regulate foreign employment companies in Nepal to adequately safeguard the rights of migrant worker and begin an impactful dialogue with the country where incidences of human rights violations of Nepali workers are occurring.
United Nations: to remind each country that is a signatory of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) that it should safeguard the human rights of the people that reside in the country and to urge other countries who not yet signed the declaration to sign.
On behalf of NASeA and all other who are concerned with this tragic incidence and all who wish that each Nepali migrant worker get a safe and abuse-free work environment where their human rights is fully ensured,
Sanjeeb Sapkota
