Citizens of Nepal

Great posting. Yes as a citizen of Nepal, I feel like we, those who have left home, have a responsibility towards our motherland Nepal. Also I do believe that we have to ask what "Ask not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for the country!" in terms of Nepal as well. And it is possible to do just that without having to compromise better compensation and quality of life. Though one lives outside of Nepal, one can still contribute significantly to uplift the lives of Nepali people and to contribute towards the betterment of Nepal's infrastructure to some capacity. What I am trying to say is that you can help Nepal achieve those goals by contributing your expertise in professional and/or economic context while enjoying better life yourself. There are  many organizations operating in Nepal now who cater to different causes. Personally what I have done is that I have found a cause that is close to my heart ( providing educational opportunities, at least high school education, for those underpriveleged children in Nepal so they can have better opportunities and better future), find what level of assistance they need and contribute towards it. However I do want to emphasize that unfortunately there are some organizations who operate under the veil of non- profit organizations and are not contributing to maximum level to the cause like they are promising to do or in other words are corrupt. So you have to do the research and find out about those organizations who actually deliver what they promise.
