If you wonder so much about what these associations actually do, perhaps you should look them up a little...like check out their website, event calendars, annual newsletters & activities, publication, etc. or better yet, you could get involved in one ore more of these organizations. There are several that are made up of people who are driven by nothing but the desire to voluntarily help fellow Nepalese in their free time, with nothing to gain but satisfaction and networking. And then there are hundreds in the community that come join these events and conventions because they reap similar benefits.

But no, why bother, right? It is much, much easier to sit at a distance, remain oblivious to anything they might be doing to make a difference, and make generic comments against all of them since they aren't solving every single bloody problem our community faces at any given time. Makes sense.
