Launching of the Nepali American Center (NAC) Website

On the auspicious day of our New Year 2067, the Nepali American Center (NAC) wishes A Happy New Year to all our Nepali Community members and friends of Nepal

It is with great satisfaction that we inform you that NAC has achieved a new and important milestone today. This journey began nearly a year ago when ANMA president, Mr. Mukesh Singh, announced plans to establish a cultural center in Chicago. With that mission in mind, the NAC website www.nepaliamericancenter.org is now live from the first day of the Nepali New Year, 2067.

Within this website we present a framework of our proposed cultural center. Over time it will be enhanced and refined based on your continuing input. Now we must continue to march ahead on our journey until our vision is realized, which is to establish a Nepali identity in a suitable place in the Chicago area.

Supporting Nepali American Center

We know that the day of having our own cultural center in Chicago is nearer than yesterday, but the journey is still long and the path perhaps arduous. However, our determination and our perseverance is unwavering, and we are confident of achieving our goal. So, together let’s express our unity as ONE Nepali community to get this work done. Once complete, the cultural center will provide opportunities and activities for everyone to participate in.

To truly own it, every one of us needs to:

• Donate some of our precious time and affordable contribution for NAC.
• Make www.nepaliamericancenter.org as our home page from today onwards.
• Volunteer your time, provide your comments and suggestions and very importantly participate to make your own contribution small or big.
• Communicate to fellow Nepali community members and other friends to support it.

A bank account is already open for all of us to start putting our contribution to it. About 10 individuals have already pledged over $55000. Three checks totaling $6350 have been received and deposited in the account so far. A set of provisions on how you and your friends can contribute is given in the Support Us page (http://nepaliamericancenter.org/node/114). NAC likes to note that we are building our home. Please read and provide your suggestions for making contributions easy and transparent to all.
