As President of the Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA), I extend this urgent advisory to all Nepali citizens residing and working across the Middle East. Recent regional tensions and unpredictable developments have raised serious concerns for the wellbeing of migrant workers, students, and families. NASeA stands in solidarity with our global Nepali community and urges everyone to remain alert, informed, and prepared.
Priority Safety Measures
• Stay informed through verified updates from local authorities, Nepali embassies, and trusted news organizations.
• Follow local laws and employer directives to ensure compliance with safety protocols and security advisories.
• Avoid unnecessary travel, especially to areas experiencing unrest, demonstrations, or restricted movement.
• Secure essential documents, including passports, work permits, and identification, and keep digital copies stored safely.
• Maintain communication with family members in Nepal and abroad to keep them updated on your safety and location.
• Register with the nearest Nepali Embassy to ensure you can be reached quickly in emergencies.
• Report unsafe conditions to your embassy, consulate, or local authorities without hesitation.
NASeA remains committed to the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of Nepali citizens worldwide. We urge all individuals in the region to act with caution and prioritize personal safety during this period of uncertainty.
With best regards,
Bidya Gurung
President, NASeA
Cashier’s check formally handed over to Prime Minister Sushila Karki
The Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) proudly announces the successful handover of $6,138.16—approximately nine lakh Nepali rupees—to the Rebuild Nepal initiative, supporting ongoing national reconstruction and development efforts.
The contribution reflects the combined generosity of the Nepali diaspora community. A GoFundMe campaign organized by NASeA raised $5,039.94, while an additional $1,098.22 was contributed by the Nepalese Student Association at the University of South Carolina.
NASeA Treasurer Puran Raj Khatiwada formally presented the cashier’s check to Rt. Honorable Prime Minister Sushila Karki, reaffirming NASeA’s commitment to standing with Nepal during its rebuilding journey.
“This donation represents the collective goodwill, unity, and dedication of our community,” NASeA stated. “We extend our sincere gratitude to every donor whose support made this contribution possible.”
NASeA remains committed to advancing initiatives that uplift Nepal and empower Nepali communities across the globe.
Bidya Gurung
President, NASeA (2025–2027)
