Dear CHOR (my bad, but then 'CHOR' is your id),
as a Tibetan, I completely agree with your statements that you as a Nepali should help Nepali-Bhutanese in any-way, shape, form possible. I empathy with current status of Nepalese-Bhutanese; we are in same kind of boat.

We Tibetan are better recognized every where, and this is not an overnights job nor a year or two. Tibetan have begged for help, spread peaceful and tolerant messages and of all without indulging in any violence in last 5 decades (50 years). You show Tibetan National Flag, and people recognize that with Peace & Freedom; same like Rastaman Flag representing freedom of expression, this is our contribution to the World. With our leadership guidances we have worked hard for past Fifty-years in spreading message of peace and freedom, collectively  and at times alone where ever necessary.

With this, you should also do the same, and in due time, people will recognize your efforts and voices for Nepali-Bhutanese. Look at the bright side, soon 10k Nepali-Bhutanese will begin to emigrate from Nepal to US, and should Nepali Government or Maoist don't disturb, almost all of them will eventually migrate to Western-Hemisphere. You should work with them, in voicing their concern, take their plight everywhere.
You can follow our lead in what we did so far. And I am sure, Hollywood will come banging your door and sing your tune of freedom.

For some reason, its always about Tibetans being rich or having money in Nepal. For your information, there are almost 30,00 Tibetans in Nepal, and of them may be; at-most 50 individuals are rich, rest are same like you and more poor believe me. In Kathmandu alone, there are 4 Tibetan camps (Jawalakhel, Boudha, Jorpati, Swyombhu), go there see for yourself; majority live there.
