Monthly Children-to-Children Webinars

Posted on by NASeAdmin

Dear NASeA Family

NASeA’s Children and Youth Committee is proud to launch monthly Children-to-Children Webinar. The first one will be held Friday, Nov 18 at 09.00 PM Eastern Time. This webinar is exclusively for children of pre-teen or early-teen age category (7 year-14 years) to share their hobbies, talents and interests in any area — sports, reading, writing, music, singing, dancing, poem/ essay etc. A household (in NASeA mailing list) with a children of this age category will soon receive an invitation to join the webinar.

Does your child wishes to share something in the webinar?
We are looking for children, 7-14 years, who wish to share their hobby, talent, interest etc to other children via the webinar. The hobby or talent could be in any area — sports, writing/ reading, music, singing, dancing, poem. essay etc. Parents are highly recommended to encourage their children to share and discuss in the webinar. Your child could be a performer at the next children-to-children webinar. Please contact the following moderators for questions or information

Sushma Bajracharya esushma.shrestha@hotmail.com
Sangita Dongol sangitadongol@gmail.com

How does the Webinar work?
A webinar is conference over the web. The moderator of the webinar shares the screen of her/ his computer to the participants who have joined the webinar from anywhere in the US (or outside). The invited parent of the age-eligible child gets a link to click to view the webinar and a conference call and passcode to listen to the webinar.

What are the technical requirement I need to join the webinar?
All you need is a computer or a laptop with good internet connections to view the webinar and a cell phone to listen to the webinar. There are many webinar service-providers but NASeA has chosen the free provider called anymeeting www.anymeeting.com

Will I get an invitation to participate?
This webinar is exclusively for pre-teen or early teen children with the (approximate) age range of 7-14 years. The Children and Youth Committee is sorting NASeA mailing list to identify household with children of the above age category. One household with children will get one email invitation. Parents are highly encouraged to have their child take part in this webinar. Parents who gets the invitation are requeted to help their child open the webinar and stay with them during the course of the webinar.

Why only children of age range 7-14 (pre-teen and early teen) are encouraged to participate?
We believe children below 7 years are too young to share in the webinar and for the children above the age of 14, NASeA has other programs that interest them more like sports etc. Of course there are children who are exceptionally talented at younger age, but in general 7-14 years is the recommended age. However the children beyond the age range of 7-14 years are welcome to watch the webinar together with their sibling of 7-14 years.

Can any number of participant join the webinar?
This webinar being a free service allows only a maximum number of 200 participants. So we are trying to reach out to as many age-eligible children as possible.

What are the highlights of your first webinar on Nov 18 Webinar?
At 09.00 PM on Nov 18 (Friday), the moderator will begin the webinar and let everyone participate. One child (to be determined) will share her/his talent for the first part of the hour. In the second part, another child will talk about one selected culture or festival. The moderator will also share any news or annoucement relevant to the children.

I have a child/children in my household. Will I get the webinar invitation?
NASeA is trying best not to miss any household in NASeA region that has children of 7-14 years range however it is going to miss some. If you have a child in the age range 7-14 please send an email to either Sushma Bajracharya or Sangita Dongol in email addresses above so that we ensure you get invited.

How is the webinar going to help my children?
This webinar is expected to inspire your children in learning from the interest, hobby and talents of other children. It is also expected to boost their confidence and expand their imaginary horizon.

Why NASeA is doing this monthly webinar?
NASeA is equally for children as it is for the adults, and NASeA need to reach out to children. Children learn and get inspired quickly if they hear and see what other do. Also, children of Nepalese origin need to appreciate Nepalese heritage and culture. This webinar not only share the talents or hobbies of children but also sensitize them with Nepalese culture, values and tradition.

Since this is a new initiative, NASeA will be constantly evaluating the event getting feedback and suggestions from all. We ask for your support in making this monthly webinar as beneficial to children as possible.

Next, please stay tuned for updates. Parents with (pre-teen or early teen) children should expect to get invitation by early next week to join the webinar on Friday, Nov 18 at 09.00 PM ET.

It was with great sadness that we reported the passing of UF student Mukesh Dangi earlier this week.

Many members of the UF community have asked if there is a way they can show their support to the Dangi family. We have three opportunities to share with you. Please feel free to share these with those you know outside of our community who knew Mukesh.
First, a memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, November 11, 2011 in Ritz Auditorium in Old Main. Please plan to attend if you can.
Second, we will be collecting cards and notes to send to the family in Nepal. Please take your cards and notes to either Student Services or International

Admissions and Services by 5 p.m. on Friday, November 4, 2011to be included in the mailing.
Third, we have established a Mukesh Dangi fund through The University of Findlay to allow for contributions towards the substantial cost of transporting

Mukesh’s body back to Nepal (approximately $11,000). If you are interested in giving to this fund, please direct your donations to the UF Business Office and ask them to be placed specifically into the Mukesh Dangi fund. If you are writing a check, please make it payable to The University of Findlay, and then note “for Mukesh Dangi fund” on the memo line. If you wish to make a contribution using a credit card, you will need to contact the Business Office directly at 419-434-4786.

 Disclaimer: This is only a guide and it may or may not work in all the circumstances. This is just to provide examples of organizing th event, but it depends on the location, size of the community and many other factors.

 1.       Purpose of Dheusi-Bhailo

Dheusi Bhailo has been celebrated since time immemorial in the mountains and terais of Nepal. If there is one thing that is the most unique to Nepal during Tihar festival then that is Dheusi-Bhailo. Organizing this in the Diaspora (United States or elsewhere in the world) is one of the most cost-effective and productive thing a Nepali organization like yours could do.  Such program has many benefits but broadly

–          It provides fun and entertainment to people of all ages

–          It promotes Nepali culture and heritage

–          And importantly, it raises funds for your future events or programs

 2.       History of Dheusi Bhailo in the Southeast

Though organizing Dheusi-Bhailo is pretty new in the Southeast America, it has been popularly picked up by the Nepalese organizations in the Southeast . In Atlanta, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina it began in 2005.

 3.       One-Stop or Home-to-Home or a Combo?

There are three different ways you could organize the Dheusi-Bhailo event.

 One stop – You could select a venue/ location and invite all the families and friends there. Once they have gathered the singing group could sing them Dheusi-Bhailo. The individual families will give their contribution to the Dheusi Singing group.

 Home-to-Home –  You could request families to invite your Dheusi-Bhailo group via a mass announcement or contacting them individually. It is good to send out the announcement first and follow up individually via email or phone.  Once the host family invite the Dheusi-Bhailo group in their houses then give them the date and time that you would like to be at their address or alternatively ask them to give you the time they would prefer. Once you work the date/ time with the host families, take your Dheusi-Bhailo group either in a van or drive separately. Whatever the transportation, plan to arrive at the host address 5-10 minutes prior to the previously agreed on time.

 Combo- You could do the combination (combo) of the above.  In the combo, you could have both  meaning  (a) you could have many families gather at one place where the Dheusire group  sing song to all and (b) the dheusire group then could go to  another location where another group of families have gathered similar to the one before.

 4. One day or multiple days? – You could do one day Dheusi-Bhailo or a multiple day Dheusi-Bhailo for example Friday in the evening, Saturday the whole day, Sunday the whole day.

 5. Pick the right date –  It is important to pick up a right date that works for most in the Dheusi-Bhailo group as well as to the host families, especially when you are doing home-to-home Dheusi-Bhailo.  Some prefer Saturday, others Sunday or some do not care which day it is. Some prefer early afternoon, some late afternoon and some late evening. It’s important that you talk to each family and figure out what works for each best and make your plan around it. Of course it is not possible to make a plan that suits everyone, so negotiate with families if they could adjust time.

 6.Promote the event and Solicit host families –  When you are doing the home-to-home Dheusi-Bhailo, the first thing you need to do is to draft an attractive announcement and send it out repeatedly to catch the attention of your community. Simultaneously, you need to contact families individually.

 7.At the host house – Once you arrive at the host house, let everyone settle first. Find a wide area (living room, or family room) and let your group make a semi-circle. Plug in your loud speaker or Karaoke if you are carrying one. You could do the following sequence of songs/dance (this is just one example, you could plan your own sequence):

  1. First Sing Dheusire song for five minutes (examples are given at the back)
  2. Then Play the traditional or folk music and dance and encourage host family to join in the dance. This could go for another 5-10 minutes.
  3. Third, stop the music and say in melody that now you are about to leave and that you appreciate any monetary contributions to the group.  
  4. Once the host family makes the contribution, ‘sing the blessing song’ (example given at the back).
  5. It is not necessary to sing only the Dheusi-Bhailo songs;  you could sing Gajals, folk songs, pop songs, raps, recite poem, tell joke or whatever you or others in the group has talent in.

 8.       Evaluation:

Once your event is over, plan for a evaluation via conference call or in-person meeting to discuss what went well and what could have been improved. Such evaluation will help you do better next year.

NASeA wishes you all the best for your Dheusire event in your city/ state.
