Nepalese Association of Connecticut (NAConn) Introduction and Organizational Structure and its development. In particular, we focus on the following key values:
Background Nepalese Association of Connecticut (NAConn) is a non-profit organization established by the American-Nepalese living in the state of Connecticut. With the growing population of Nepali origin in the state, a need was felt for an official organization to encourage cooperation, goodwill, and mutual support among these residents. The effort to establish an organization started in November 2005 by few members of the community. After more than three years of learning and restructuring this effort culminated in the registration of Nepalese Association of Connecticut as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in May 2009. The association is involved in different community events including organizing blood donations, participating in the events organized by city of West Hartford, and organizing various cultural and social events to foster Nepali language and cultural heritage. It provides support to people of Nepali origin living in the state to assimilate with the community so that they can fully contribute to the society.
Respect & Dignity: We believe in respecting people's views and promoting an environment of good team spirit, understanding, tolerance and trust. Equality: We believe in equality for all, that means equality among members of the community itself, between men and women and children, diverse cultures, traditions and faith of every member and between ethnic communities and the wider society. Participation: We believe in participatory approach to resolve any issues that befall in our community. We support the rights of our members to participate in the decisions that affect their lives. Empowerment: We believe in our capacity to define our needs, articulate our hopes and fears and represent ourselves locally, regionally and nationally.
Goals and activities To achieve its mission, the association shall perform activities that include:
Mission The mission of NAConn is to promote Nepali traditional culture and heritage, and provide a development forum for families and friends of Nepalese-Americans in the US. It is committed to working in partnership with community organizations and local and state agencies for the wellbeing of its members and community as a whole.
Vision Our vision is to empower the community members with the understanding of their basic rights and responsibilities and to help them realize their individual potentials and exploit these where possible in a diverse society along with the reflection and preservation of unique cultural heritage.
•
Celebrating traditional Nepali festivals preserve and promote cultural heritage
•
Working in partnership with local, regional, and national community organizations to benefit its members and community as a whole
•
Implement educational and other activities that benefit its member in particular and society in general
•

APA Commission is one of the six commissions authorized by the Connecticut legislation who work for different subgroups of population including minority, women, Latinos, African Americans, Asian American and other minority groups. The APA forum was the first of its kind that helped the participants to understand the role of the commission and also provided input for the commission so that it can help Asian Pacific American communities achieve their full potential.

A lonely bud Long time overdue Waits for the sun A single ray of light To pierce through the dense tangle Banish the weeds sapping her life Waiting for the strength The power to pour into her Letting her push past Bloom higher than ever before Rise above the rest She waits for nothing A non-existent light Blown out years before A non-existent end To this song of desire
No Place Like Home by Anusha Basnet There's no place like home And the mountains of Nepal And the smiling goats. There's nothing like the Shining lakes of Pokhara And busy temples Or the homes of grandparents Who never forget you.
We accept EBT and WIC
Nepal is where my heart lives on Even when I'm gone far, far away It is where my mind drifts to a place Which spans across an endless sea. The easiest way to kill your enemy is to make friendship with them. Never fear your critics. They are helping you to be stronger.

me warmly even though I didn’t remember them and it had been ten years since they had seen me. We loaded onto a very old taxi and headed to our new temporary home. I probably will never forget my first taxi ride. Aside from the fact that we stopped every two minutes and had to wait in traffic jams because of the poor road management, the view we got was incredible. First of all, I was used to seeing nice sidewalks with stop signs and people walking their dogs but in Nepal, there were no sidewalks. Only people sitting on the steps on their houses, rickshaws carrying people and dogs roaming freely everywhere. I even saw cows crossing the road! It was a complexly different environment, with different people. Everyone was speaking in Nepali, an activity I was unfamiliar to. With everyone speaking the same tongue, I truly felt in my native land. When we reached home, I was ready to take a hot shower but incidentally I found out that the water is mostly freezing. Also, I encountered a problem called load-shedding. What is that? Well in the U.S. we are blessed to have 24 hour electricity; we turn on the lights and never think about how many people live in darkness. In Nepal, they have an on and off electricity system. They have power for about eight hours which shuts off after a while and it comes back on again. Also, the toilets… they are a little different. Let’s just say that we are lucky, very lucky.
A Trip of a Lifetime by Zenith Rai I recently went to Nepal and I’m going to be telling you about my unforgettable experiences there. First, let me start with my past. I’ve lived in the U.S. for about ten years and I came here when I was five. I know nothing of my previous life in Nepal. I have no recollections of my memories or my family. A few months ago I got the chance to go to Nepal with my brother and my parents for three weeks. I thought it would be a fun vacation, but I had no idea that my outlook of reality would be transformed in that small amount of time. Where does my story start? How about on an airplane in New York? I was sitting on the plane and looked outside. The feeling that something new was going to happen was exhilarating. I had never flown before (technically I did, but I was 5 so it doesn’t really count) but you have to actually sit on a plane to get the same experience of leaving a place and seeing the city get smaller and smaller and flying into the clouds. We had a couple transits where we got to see different countries like Germany and Bahrain. Finally we were about to land. At that point I was waiting in nervous anticipation, but we finally got there. And of course, what better way to start a trip with lots of confusion, right? It seems funny now, but it wasn’t then. Apparently all eight bags of our luggage were nowhere to be seen. So we spent the first hour of our trip in panic waiting in a very dirty baggage room. We did eventually get our luggage. We headed outside. You know in the movies you see people exiting an airport and their family graciously waiting with garlands outside? Yeah, in reality it was more like the four of us walking out in confusion not knowing which way to go. When we got outside, WHAM!, it was like a shock of reality. It was a completely foreign place like I’ve never seen.
While in Nepal, we visited many places. Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, even the tarai. All these places were each different and unique yet all the same. The people and poverty were the same. I’m not saying everyone in Nepal is poor; there were some incredibly large mansions that only millionaires could own. There were fancy restaurants and fancy cars. But there was also immense poverty. Walking into small restaurants you could see little girls of ten cooking in the kitchen, you could see small boys washing all the dishes. There were children selling water bottles, and anything they could. This was heartbreaking to me. I couldn’t quite process that these kids didn’t get to go to school. They were stuck in a cage of poverty. Yet, they seemed happy. I was once just watching a group of small boys play outside. They seemed content playing in the dirt and I began to wonder how they did it. I now realize that we live in a materialistic consumer society. What is that? It means we care way too much about physical
People who’ve never been to Nepal imagine it as a fantasy land with green mountains. But really, Kathmandu is not like that. Imagine yourself in New York City, except a lot dirtier with no stoplights or roads even. It felt like I had been plopped into this corner of the world in which I knew nothing. There were policemen in blue pacing the dusty road telling us to move out. Outside the airport, my mom’s sister and two brothers were waiting and they embraced

From a Veterinarian's Diary
objects. We want the latest I-phone or the newest laptop. We are concerned with only ourselves and money. In Nepal, they care about family. That is their main focus and priority.
by Akriti Bhattarai I rushed into the dark exam room just moments after sunrise and flicked the light switch up and down until the huge bright lights flashed on and temporarily blinded me. I ran into the surgical supply closet and desperately tried to grab all the materials I needed for tissue repair surgery before it's to late for the poor puppy waiting in the emergency room. The little eight month old puppy was attacked and stabbed by a gang of sixteen year old boys who were apparently bored that night and wanted to do something fun. What a horrible idea of torturing an innocent animal. As I run around crazily trying to find the surgical cart, I wondered how those boys could have been so cruel that they would injure such an innocent puppy. As the puppy was wheeled in I suddenly remembered an event that sparked my passion to become a veterinarian.
I visited a lot of my family, the 'extended family' which meant 4th, 5th cousins, where their greatgrandfather and my great-grandfather were cousins. In Nepal they consider even the most distant relative and their own kin. The warmth and compassion I felt in the families I visited cannot be found here. In Nepal, we went to the tarai and visited the village of my mom’s aunts and uncles. My family there lives in simplicity. The couple of days I spent there were the most fun, even if there were no computers or internet. Instead I spent the days laughing with relatives and playing with cousins. It was a wonderful bond that I was a part of. In the U.S, we don’t spend enough time with our family. We are all running separate lives with kids going to school, and parents going to work, and everyone are busy and moving. That is why we should try to live our lives like them.
xxx It was the summer of 1995, four summers after we moved to Enfield, and the only people I knew well enough to "hang out" with after school were my neighbors. The groups in my neighborhood had been very simple up to this summer. The boys would hang out together and play videogames, the older girls would hang out and usually talk and the little girls would play games together. That summer the groups started mixing and things got a bit confusing. It all happened sometime in late July, and at that point the boys and older girls would always end up merging into one big group.
It came to the last day and I seriously did not want to leave. I can still remember the moment where we had to say goodbye. My grandparents had come from Khotang, and my aunts had come from the mountains of Solukhumbu to spend the little time we had together. I had never seen my family before my trip but I felt as though I had known them forever. The moment we had to part, I started to cry. Soon everyone had tears on their face. Even now, I feel as though a piece of me is still there. When I think of the memories, I smile. Three weeks seemed to fly by so fast; thinking of it now seems like a foggy dream. Now I can’t believe that I actually flew across the ocean and saw another pocket of the world. The place I was born. The things I experienced were indescribable. The people there live life in peace, simplicity and compassion. We living in America sometimes forget to do that. It is hard to really understand the most important aspect is family and culture. Our culture and heritage define us. Without them who are we? We will just be culture-less valueless individuals. My trip to Nepal really reminded me of the importance in the bond of family and culture. We can’t forget who we are. So everyone who is reading this: be proud!
That day Lici, Caden, Harrison, and I were on Harrison's rusty and half broken trampoline arguing about irrelevant things such as that scored the most points in the last basketball game and what the best neighborhood teams were. Suddenly, I noticed something move on a branch of the tree above us. It was a little squirrel about six inches tall with a furry honey brown colored tail longer than it's body and cute little paws no bigger than my fingernail. It jumped onto the trampoline and scurried along the edge of the wrinkled blue tarp covering the springs of the trampoline, leaped over the broken net, and nearly landed on my lap. I hardly had any time to react before Harrison grabbed the squirrel, jumped

no idea what do to. Should I stab the squirrel and just get it over with?
off the trampoline, and stumbled into his garage. I was shocked that he would just grab an animal like that and I knew that he would end up injuring either himself or the squirrel.
"Are you too chicken to give this lowlife squirrel the end it deserves?"
Lici, Caden, and I rushed into the garage, just in time to see Harrison throw the squirrel into a cardboard shoebox and slam the lid shut.
"That is it!' I shouted. "What has the squirrel ever done to you? Nothing, right? You have no rights to torture or kill this squirrel. It's just wrong and I will not be a bystander or do what you want me to. You guys are like Nazi soldiers except you're even worse because you're torturing this poor innocent animal for fun. That is just sick and disturbing and I'm ready to report you for animal cruelty."
"Let me see the squirrel." demanded Lici. "Sure," replied Harrison, "but use this stick to poke it if it tries to get out." Harrison handed the box and the sharp wooden stick to Lici and then ran inside.
As soon as those last words were out of my mouth everything fell silent. Caden, Harrison, and Lici just stood there staring at me.
"What are you going to do with the squirrel?" I asked.
"Step away from the box and let me set the squirrel free."
"Poke it, of course." True to her word, Lici started poking the bewildered little squirrel with the stick until Caden grabbed the box from her and tried to pick up the squirrel. Right then Harrison came out with a small silver dagger, which I had no idea how he got, and handed it to me. At this point I was as perplexed as the little squirrel they were now torturing. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that someone like Lici would do something so horrible to such a poor defenseless creature and I had no idea why Harrison handed me the dagger.
"First put the dagger down" demanded Caden "Do you really think I would stab you if I wouldn't stab the squirrel?" I guess they weren't very sure because they backed away from the squirrel without any more hesitation. I walked over to the small white box and carefully lifted up the lid. The squirrel seemed well enough to survive so I slowly lifted one side of the box until the other side was in contact with the ground. As soon as the squirrel realized it was able to go free it limped away into the bushes. After the squirrel was out of sight I turned around and headed home. I knew that the boys would find some way to make fun of me because I stood up for the squirrel, but at that time I couldn't care less.
"Stab it." he said "What?" "Stab the squirrel." I had no idea what to do. I knew that stabbing the squirrel would be wrong, it was murder. I also knew that the boys had only recently stopped insulting me and if I didn't kill the squirrel like they wanted to they would probably start again.
The next day I was with my little brother in my backyard trying to teach him how to catch a kickball. The ball had rolled over behind the shed and since my brother thought there was a giant spider that lived there, I had to go get it. I was reaching for the ball when I saw a little puffy tail sticking out from under the fence. When I went to look closer I realized that the puffy tail belonged to the squirrel that Lici, Caden, and Harrison tortured yesterday. I also realized that the squirrel was dead. I didn't realize that the squirrel was too hurt to be able to survive by itself when I let it go the day before. I never thought that they had poked and prodded him hard enough to cause internal bleeding. I couldn't
"Well what are you waiting for?" asked Harrison "You're not a coward are you?" "Are you too afraid to hurt the squirrel? Are you scared it'll jump up and bite your finger?" taunted Caden "Maybe it's against her religion like the cow god she can't eat except it's a squirrel."

help feeling that I was responsible for the death of the squirrel. If I had known how hurt the squirrel was or how to help it, it might have survived. If I had stood up for the squirrel sooner, it might still be running along the tree branches overhead. If I had taken the squirrel home and mage sure it was able to survive on it's own it wouldn't be lying dead on the ground. The guilt I felt for not being able to help the squirrel drove me to find ways to help innocent animal. I started going to animal shelters for volunteering my time in high school. I helped to provide an animal whether it was medical attention, a loving caring family, or protection from potential threats. I worked with many animal rights groups before I finally decided to go to veterinary college at Purdue. xxx Those flashbacks did not last long as my conscious mind would hurry me to the operation table where this little puppy was laying motionless under the sedation. Two hours and multiple surgeries later, the caramel colored puppy was stable enough to survive without life support. Soon the puppy will be reunited with his family and the story will finally have a happy ending. It felt like that the burden I was carrying on me since two decades was lifted today. xxx
