Dear respected community members and supporters,

It is with deep humility and gratitude that I accept the responsibility of serving as the President of the Nebraska Nepalese Society for the 2026–2028 term. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for placing your trust and confidence in me. Your support is not something I take lightly. I promise to lead with honesty, transparency, and dedication, and to always keep the best interests of our community at heart. I am committed to listening carefully to your ideas, concerns, and suggestions, and working with energy and integrity to serve our growing Nepalese family in Nebraska.

Our society is more than just an organization — it is a home away from home. For many of us, Nebraska is where we work, study, and raise our families, but our roots, traditions, and cultural values connect us to Nepal. Over the years, through the hard work and vision of our founders, past presidents, board members, volunteers, and supporters, we have built a strong and united community. We have created a space where we can celebrate our festivals, speak our language, share our food, and pass down our traditions to the next generation. We are deeply grateful to those who laid this foundation before us, and it is now our responsibility to continue strengthening it.

A community becomes truly strong when its members stand by one another. During moments of joy, we celebrate together. During moments of difficulty, we support one another. As your president, one of my key priorities is to ensure that no member of our Nepalese community feels alone in times of need. Whether someone is facing a health challenge, a family emergency, or personal hardship, our society should be a source of compassion, unity, and meaningful support. By building stronger connections among us, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and cared for.

Leadership is not a one-person effort. While I am fortunate to have a dedicated and capable team of board members, the true strength of our society lies in its members. I warmly invite you to get involved — volunteer at events, share your ideas, participate in discussions, and attend our programs. Your time, skills, and suggestions matter. Even small contributions can have a powerful impact. When we work together with a shared vision, we can achieve far more than we can individually.

The next two years promise to be exciting and meaningful. We look forward to organizing cultural festivals, sports tournaments, health campions, youth programs, community gatherings, and social initiatives that will bring us closer together. These events are not just celebrations — they are opportunities to strengthen friendships, support our youth, preserve our heritage, and build pride in who we are.

This term is especially significant as we proudly celebrate the Silver Jubilee — 25 years of the Nebraska Nepalese Society. This milestone represents decades of unity, resilience, and cultural pride. It is a moment to reflect on our journey, honor the contributions of those who came before us, and look ahead with renewed energy and purpose. Together, we will make this celebration memorable and meaningful for all generations.

Thank you once again for your continued trust, encouragement, and support. Let us move forward together with respect, understanding, and love for our community. My door is always open, and your feedback is always welcome, because this organization truly belongs to you.

सधैंझैं तपाईंहरूको निरन्तर साथ, सहयोग, विश्वास र प्रेरणाको अपेक्षासहित

Yadu Sapkota
President (2026–2028)
