There is also a established Nepali non-profit in Los Angeles, C.A that has been doing extremely good work with the Nepali community there. The office is called Nepal Sewa Center. They at first started as a n all volunteer group about three years ago but in the last year, they have done such good work that they are now reciving funding from other organizations to help them expand services--all the services that they provide for the Nepali Community are completely free of charge with no strings attached.
