Sad to hear some of our Nepalese brother's comments on how they want nothing from Nepal or to Nepal. I am amazed by how fast glitters and glamour have dictated these people's mind. As a Nepali myself, I truly believe we must do something. I know that no one will listen to us in Nepal, where corruption "in your face". I have experienced this every time I travel Nepal. Last time when I went Nepal to pick up my wife, I was tormented by government officers in every single offices, and all these just to get a marriage certificate (because of my dual citizenship Nepali/US). Anyways, I went through their procedure, which was probably more complicated than rocket science. I was asked for bribe everywhere, but I refused to do so. Yes, it took me 2 months to get the certificate, but it was well worthy. I didn't let them exploit one more person. Long story short, I understand the situation in Nepal and how difficult to survive with government wage. So corruption is everywhere. If nothing more, we can at least sponsor some children to get some good education, which is what I do. No matter how dirty, poor, or corrupt it is, it is still the most beautiful countries in the world to me, and I love it to death. Jai Nepal.
