Call for ANA Involvement in Recent Unfortunate Incidents

Forget about funding. Funding after the incident is not enough involvement. I wish ANA and other Nepalis who have shown such enthusiasm on this site would do something to stop slavery of innocent Nepali students in the name of outragerous out of state tution. I personally do not see a difference between a Nepali girl getting lured and sold in Indian brothel or a Nepali student lured to come study in an undergrad program in the usa. Both compelled to work as slaves. Although there is a choice for a Nepali student to returning back without a degree or over rated "lots of money", there is always the pressure of over rated expectance from friends and family back home which prevent them from making the move. I am sure everyone here is aware of the illegal jobs( according to the INS) Nepali students get involved into just to pay their tution. Why can't we be proactive and prevent unfortunate events from happening? why can't we have our brothes come in here with better scholorships? or at least made them aware of the real situation here. why no one even talks about the real harsh situations over here to the youngesters back in Nepal who are dying to come here. What happened recently is a series of very unfortunate events. However, they are gone and they are not going to come back. Why not do something for people who are still suffering? I am sure the departed soul would find more comfort on that than rasing fund for them NOW when they are no longer with us. Why don't we do something for the victims who are coming to join the suffer- force not knowing the real facts of foreign student complications. I know no one can put a gun in thier head , but we can at least give correct information.
