You know, I take all of your advice positively. I know you are all coming from a good space.

I am not writing in sajha to argue with anyone. I am also looking for solutions for Nepal like all of you. I am just trying to figure out how to best move forward in my personal circumstance. For the longest time I thought that the hurdle to me being able to serve Nepal was my desire and ability to do so. I just assumed that my parent's resources would be there for me if and when I want to come to Nepal. I don't even want to use their resources for my enjoyment. I want to use it to serve Nepal. And somehow it seems I just took it for granted that if I told my parents, "Buwa, Aama, I am coming to Nepal to serve Nepal and serve you all," that my parents would welcome me with open arms and do all they could to facilitate my service to Nepal.

So I am a little shocked that this was not their response. But you are right. Just because they did not respond in this way does not mean that I cannot find other resources and ways and means to be able to serve my country. Where there is a will there is a way.

And that is why I am in sajha. I am simply doing a "literature review" of information and resources and opportunities that you all may know so that I understand how best to take the next step. I thought my parents would provide these things to me. But I am becoming clearer that I cannot depend on them. So that is why I came to sajha, to receive advice and guidance from you all about the different options for someone like me to move forward.

So I thank all of you who have stepped up and given me positive advice. Thank you. Today I am asking these questions. And tomorrow when someone else in a similar situation as mine comes here asking these questions, you can refer them to this thread.
