अमेरिका र नेपालमा पनि केही गरौं भन्ने अभिप्रायले समाजसेबामा होमिने निधो

अब पुरै परिवार मिलेर दश करोड भन्दा माथिको एउटा समाज सेवाको परियोजना छिट्टै नेपाल मा शुरु हुँदैछ भने अमेरिकामा वार्षिक तीन लाख रुपैयाको छात्रब्रिती शुरु भैसकेको छ !

सत्र बर्षको उमेरमा अमेरिका तिर हानिएका र हाल अमेरिकामा ब्यबसायीको रुपमा पूर्ण रुपमा स्थापित राजिब मैनाली उनका दुई भाईहरु रोशन, रविन र अर्धांगिनी सुनन्दा, दुई बुहारीहरु सपना, माइली समाजसेबा तर्फ होमिएका छन । यो देखेर उनिहरुका बुवा बिनोद र आमा साबित्री मैनालीको छाती गर्बिलो बनेर आउंछ र दुबै जनाले छोरा बुहारीहरुको अभियान लाई साथ दिँदै अब अमेरिकामा र नेपाल मा पनि केही गरौं भन्ने अभिप्रायले समाजसेबामा होमिने निधो गरिसकेका छन । बुवा आमाको अठोट देखेर छोरा बुहारी हरु पनि दँग । अब पुरै परिवार मिलेर दश करोड भन्दा माथिको एउटा समाज सेवाको परियोजना छिट्टै नेपाल मा शुरु हुँदैछ भने अमेरिकामा वार्षिक तीन लाख रुपैयाको छात्रब्रिती शुरु भैसकेको छ । यसै समाजसेवाको सेरोफेरोमा रहेर नेपाल मदर डट कमका लागि प्रधान सम्पादक राम प्रसाद खनालले राजिब मैनाली, बिनोद मैनाली, साबित्री मैनाली सँग गरेको समाजसेबी भलाकुसारी ।

Our 6 decades long journey from Kavrepalanchowk to USA has been full of experiences, jubilations, and sorrows. I vividly remember how my
father Yangya Prasad Mainali and other village seniors donated time, labor, and money to establish the first elementary school in my birth village many decades ago. The passionate philanthropy shown by the villagers with limited means who never had a chance to read or write has forever left a mark upon us and has served as a guiding principle in life. I received my early education in that school. We moved on from village to Kathmandu in search of higher education and opportunities. The journey of our family from Kavre to Kathmandu and then onwards to USA would not have been possible without the early foundation in that village school.

Things have changed immensely since then. Nepalese now travel all over the world in their quest of higher education and economic opportunities. We have witnessed this first hand within our own family as our own children pursued education abroad. This personal experience has created an emotional bond with students from Nepal pursuing education in USA. There are unique challenges of getting education in USA. The cost of education is astronomical and the constant tug-of-war between work and education is clearly not for the faint hearted. We would like to partner with deserving Nepalese students who have burning passion and determination in their chase of the American dream.

In collaboration with highly reputable organization ANS(oldest Nepali organization in USA), we would like to offer partial tuition assistance program. While our financial help will not be enough for the entire cost, we will feel satisfied that we have been of some help in this difficult endeavor of our fellow Nepalese students.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

Binod and Sabitri Mainali.
