Need associated tables/data for 2015 to generate scripts Let us all join a coalition of Nepali groups to support Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Nepali nationals in the U.S.

Respected International/National/Regional/ State/Student organizations Presidents/Community Leaders and the Nepalese Community of NASeA Region and beyond,  Respected Editors Online/TV/Print Media around the globe,

Greetings from NASeA! Nepalese community around the world is shocked to hear the natural disaster caused by resent  earthquake in Nepal. Our heart and pray to all the family members who lost their loved ones during this tragic incidence and extend our best wishes and speedy recovery to all the injured and sympathy to all those who lost their property during this disaster. On behalf of NASeA’s External Relations Committee together with President Dr. Ram Chandra Baral, EC members, I take this pleasure to request you all the respected International/National/Regional/State/Student organizations Presidents/Community Leaders to participate and join a coalition of Nepali groups to support Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Nepali nationals in the U.S. Please find the detail information below forwarded by Sonam Dolker Campaign Associate, Adhikaar and let us make our voice heard.

Here is the highlights of the announcement:

TPS is a form of humanitarian aid when an environmental disaster, including specifically an earthquake, has caused a substantial temporary disruption of living conditions. TPS for Nepal would ensure that Nepalis in the U.S. would be protected from deportation and granted work authorization to enable them to continue working and send remittances to Nepal. It could also open up avenues to being able to apply for advance parole which would allow individuals with non-permanent status to travel to Nepal and come back. For a more detailed explanation of TPS and how it will benefit Nepalis, please here to see this fact sheet .

We have four things to ask of you:

1. In order to get the Department of Homeland Security and the White House to grant Nepal TPS, they need to hear from community leaders like you. We have drafted a sign-on letter to collect organizational support. If you would like to support this letter to the Department of Homeland Security, please fill out this form.

2. Let the Nepali Embassy know that you and your community support TPS and want the Embassy to request TPS for Nepal. Please use this sample letter to write your own support letter to the Nepali embassy and email it to info@nepalembassyusa.org. The email should be addressed to Narayan Prasad Mainali.

3. Please sign this White House petition to support TPS for Nepal. We have 30 days to collect 100,000 signatures to get a response from the White House. Please share within your networks and make sure to sign it yourself.

4. And last but not least, please contact your U.S. Representative! We will not be able to win TPS for our Nepali sisters and brothers without YOUR support, and you can make your voice heard by calling your Representative and ask them to support TPS for the Nepali community.

We need to rally together and show the Nepali community’s support for TPS so that the Embassy will make it a priority. We must move fast to help those Nepalis who having pending US visas, and support our country and its people in this time of need.

Please contact Mr. Sonam Dolkar  at sonam@adhikaar.org if you have additional questions.

With this note, I kindly request you all to spread the news immediately and let us expedite our support to validate the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Nepali nationals in the U.S.

Always for the community,

With Respect,

Bimal Nepal

International Movie Night

In celebration of Culture Fest, Global Jackets and Nepali Club at Georgia Tech will be viewing “Himalaya” which was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the 72nd Academy Awards in 2000.  

Synopsis: “Himalaya (French: Himalaya: L’Enfance d’un chef’) is a 1999 Nepalese movie directed by Eric Valli

Himalaya is a story set against the backdrop of the Nepalese Himalayas. At an altitude of five thousand metres in the remote mountain region of Dolpa, Himalaya is the story of villagers who take a caravan of yaks across the mountains, carrying rock salt from the high plateau down to the lowlands to trade for grain. An annual event, the caravan provides the grain that the villagers depend on to survive the winter. The film unfolds as a story of rivalry based on misunderstanding and distrust, between the aging chief and the young daring herdsman, who is both a friend and a rival to the chief’s family, as they struggle for leadership of the caravan.”
