Acquisition of Community Center and Shree Pashupatinath Temple in Houston: Challenges and Opportunities Moving Forward

Vishnu Nepal, Secretary, Nepalese Association of Houston (NAH)

With the more than three years of restless effort, finally the dream of having a place to go for social, cultural and recreational purpose for all people of Nepali origin has been a reality. As many of you know, there were several options of lands to build a community center but not all those options were opportunities; some of them were too big of a project for us, some were more of a liability than asset. With several rounds of discussion and evaluations of pros and cons of existing Shree Pashupatinath temple and associated land with the temple, the Nepalese Association of Houston (NAH) decided to acquire the property located at 14303 FM 762 Rd, Richmond, TX 77469.

Those who donated equal to or 24 Dinesh Gyawali more than $2500 within the timeframe are recognized as the trustees. The 25 Dinker & Iren Amatya plan is to allow the trustees to run the operation of the property by creating 26 Dipak & Puja Aryal a management committee.

The total land area is 8.23 Acres, which is roughly equal to 66 Ropani. In the premise, there is already a Shree Pashupatinath temple built by Nepalese community and another building approximately 6000 Square Feet. In addition, there is a metal building frame, which can be used to build a community center with a usable area of 7,000 SF. All needed utilities are also part of the acquisition.

Finally, after completing our week long trip to Thailand and Cambodia, we arrived in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. My summer in Nepal was a very inspiring one. I learnt a lot about the lifestyle and daily struggles of people in Nepal. I had quite the adventure. While in Nepal, I did some volunteering with a non-profit organization called Ear Care Nepal

NEPAL VISION 2018 31 Normally, we would have one or two ENT doctors, one or two nurse staff, and three of us who were volunteering including the driver. Besides me, there was a young couple from Spain who had come to Nepal to volunteer with Ear Care Nepal. During my volunteering, I learnt about different parts of ear, their role in hearing process, and how to take care of ear. For example, if your ear is hurting, you should not put oil in it as it will make the pain worse and cause ear infection. I also learnt about various parts that makes inner and outer ear. I did not know the smallest bone in human body called Stapes is located in the middle of the ear along with two other bones. In our hearing process, sound waves enter the outer ear and travel till it hits the ear drum. The inner cell creates neural signal that is picked by auditory nerve which is connected to brain. Volunteering at Ear Care Nepal really to be independent. It was also great inspired me and taught me about educational opportunity for me to how lucky some of us are, and how learn about students and school conditions in Nepal, people of Nepal in general, and most importantly about ear and hearing.

Dear Friends,

Inspiration of your organization had encouraged us to go ahead with the construction works.

We paid for the rebars and bricks which was urgently in need so we had included the bills here. We had planned to display your contributions outside and also inside on the stone tablet. Our complete planning of this building is also included. we will construct it phase wise but this portion will be constructed soon and keep sending you the progress status. If this information is sufficient to send the second installment we would like to humbly request you to do that so that we will promise you to complete is as soon as possible I can promise you every paisa will be used in our construction works and make this organization ever lasting to help needy and poor people of this country. This is my ethics and promise. Trust this organization and trust me as well.

Thank you all for valuable and inspiring contribution for this old nonprofit, nongovernmental and historic organization.

Sincerely yours

Damber Nepali Paropakar

Reconstruction activities are still going on at this time. We have attached pictures of school buildings and the projects in Nepal as a result of the relief funds provided by all our donors. NAH is particularly grateful to Honorable Congressman Mr. Al Green for his help and deep concern for Nepal and Nepali Community in Houston and all over the United States. NAH greatly appreciate his tireless effort to get approval to provide Nepalese Immigrant a Temporary Protected Status (TPS). We are also indebted to our friends, business owners, charities, social organizations and the entire Houston Nepali community for being resolute and responsive to the request to support this noble cause and their efforts in making this Fund-raise program a grand success. Once again, thank you for your generous support in helping the earthquake victims and their families in Nepal. There is still a long way to go to get back to the normal life. We request that you keep these families in your prayers as they remember their loved ones who lost their lives in the earthquake. We are indeed grateful to you all and may God bless Nepal. THANK YOU!

94 NEPAL VISION 2018 Heartfelt Condolence Albeit her journey to this world has been very brief, baby Riya has left an indelible and ever lasting impression amongst each of us. She was an angel that just brought joy to all the people around her. She loved playing with her sister and loved sweets and ice-cream. Her beautiful smile and curious nature made her stand out among the kids of her age.

Nepalese Association of Houston (NAH) extends heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to parents of Late Riya Shrestha, Mr. Rajendra and Umita Shrestha and her elder sister Reeva. May her departed soul rest in eternal peace in the heavenly abode! May Lord bless her soul and give the family strength and RIYA SHRESTHA courage to withstand this immense loss.
