MadDoGG and Unicornis bros you guys are in opposite end of the same stick racing to get to the center to create the foundation..... Unicornis bro is right in a sense that if we wait for the right time (at least the ways things are going right now) it will take forever and we have lot to loose by waiting because these corrupt bastards will sell anything and everything for chair and money..... MadDoGG bro what Unicornis bro is trying to say is you are in the city of the corrupts and you want to make a change where you don't have foundation.... If you really want to why not start by investing in villages (grass root level).... Take for example how about investing in commercial farming.... There are many western districts in Nepal where you can grow many types of vegetables and food staples like wheat, barley, corn, millet among other things..... Take for example Accham district used to produce enough wheat for its village and still have enough to sell to other district..... But due to lack of irrigation facility and awareness among people about health benefits, they stoped growing wheat and barley and started buying food from government..... Read this bro you will understand what I mean.... http://www.nepalitimes.com.np/issue/2008/05/09/Nepalipan/14780
So why not help them create an irrigation facility and charge them for the service.... We could also help them market the produce to food deficit district and neighboring districts so they can afford to pay for the facility we provide.... Trust me bro Indians are taking advantage of the fact that we don't have this basic knowledge and are also making money from us.... Do you know most product produced in Nepal are sold to Indian traders first and then they turn back around and sell those products right back to another district for higher price.... I also had a article about that but some how I misplaced it.... So tell me how are they making money.... Another thing that anyone can do is why not give an entrepreneurial ideas to our Nepali brothers which is what they lack and we can change things around for them.... Take for example Mr. Pun... He has started from building elementary school and some novel ideas to make money for the village... He decided to make the village self sufficient..... He now made fishing pond to market fish in the village, duck for meat, himalayan yak and chaure cow for meat and milk, sewing for making clothes from sheep farming, basic telehealth service which is due to wireless connection.... He even cross bread yak and cow to produce more milk per breed.... You can find this in his web, you will find it very interesting how simple his ideas are and are beneficial to our people..... http://www.himanchal.org/  ..... if you go through this you will understand..... This was what Unicornis was mentioning and trust me this man is very inspiring and made me believe that it is possible.....

MadDoGG bro I can also understanding your situation as well.... Its hard to invest in under developing country because of their is always possibility of failure to get profits or loss of all your assets.... From business perspective its not a smart decision.... But you also have to understand you are comparing a society which already has its foundation vs not.... For example you want a capitalist economy but in capitalist economy you already have security, local and state market created by the government or local people initiatives, you have educated people who are aware of what to produce and who to produce it for, you have fair competition, you have a management groups and rules and regulations and too many other things to list here.... In that situation all you do is think of ideas, find a niche to limit or avoid competition and acquire starting capital to get started... But for our country Nepal we first need that foundation and find the people who are willing to invest in such things and the longer we avoid these basic foundation then we are also prolonging our ability to invest in our beloved country.... We live in America which is why we know these things but our people lack such knowledge.... Our people don't even understand the simple rule of economy and money.... They think that just hiding the money and keeping it under the bed or a bank will get them more money and it will grow.... What they don't understand is the strength of a single Ruppies or any currency is based on the fact how much you circulate that money and products produced from investing that money..... who is going to teach them that and provide these thing for them....  Someone has to invest on that first before anyone can make money in Nepal..... Also you are looking for short term return and not long term....

Now you both have the best interest in heart for our country but one wants to start from top to bottom and other from bottom to top..... Who is right who is wrong is not for be to judge but I just wanted to share my opinion....
