NCNC is a non-profit, organization in North Carolina. Since its inception in 1999, NCNC has hosted many cultural and social events and activities. Some of the past activities include hosting popular comedy/drama from Nepal like MAHA JODI,  Manoj Gajurel, Maalatii Mangale:, musical concerts of Nepal's popular artists like Deep Shrestha, Nabin Bhattarai, Nhyo Bajcharya, Sambhujeet Banskota, Prem Raja Mahat, Bhuwan KC, Shringara Nepal etc. and discourses from spiritual personalities like Dr. Chintamani Yogi etc. Larger regional conventions like Joint ANASEA/ANMA/NCNC held in Raleigh in September 2001 & 2009 were attended by more than 500 people. Several local activities including Teej celebration, Dashain and Tihaar (Deausi Bhailo) celebration and New Year Celebration are being part of regular NCNC activities including sports competition such as Volley Ball. NCNC has its strong presence in state or interstate sport tournament. NCNC has secured three consecutive NASeA/ANMA volleyball championships (2009, NC, 2010, KY and 2011, GA). Members of NCNC youth have as secured the first, second and third positions in essay contest for school students and poetry contest almost every year. Currently, NCNC is running Nepali school for the children. It’s a milestone sought by NCNC since its establishment. In addition to this, NCNC and its members were able to extend financial help in need, may that be Bhutanese victims of fire in Greensboro, earthquake victims of Haiti , Gujarat India, or of Nepal, flood victims in Pakistan, or victim of vehicle accidents in Green ville, NC. The financial contribution, time and the labor donated by NCNC and its member has been appreciated.

Naya Barsa 2067 Ko Subha Kamana !
 

Dear community members, and friends;

I would like to wish you very happy and healthy New Year 2067 on behalf of entire NCNC BoD, and thank you for coming to participate in this celebration. I hope this picnic (today) gives us all the chance to exchange warm wishes, make new friends and renew old ones. I also hope that these changing leaves (with the season) would inspire us all to tighten the bond of our friendship, help each other in our need, and serve the community even better in coming days.

It is our goal and desire that event like this provide us the opportunity to network, share information’s and give us means to come closer and lift each other and the community as a whole.

Thank you for the kind of support you have been giving us. With this kind of interest and support we have been able to accomplish things like Nepali Class for kids, putting up our own web site, and working towards purchasing a land for community center in such a short span of time.

Either its burned Bhutanese victims in Greensboro or earthquake victims in Haiti, we have been able to stretch our arms and help because of your support.

In coming days, we will be working and co-ordinating with other Nepali organizations throughout USA, so we can share our success with them and replicate theirs in our place.

We hope you will continuously provide us your support in coming days by either being NCNC life member, helping our Nepali class financially or by sending your valuable feed back and suggestions via our web site.

Naya Barshako Shubha-Kamana!

 

Yours:

Arun Dhital
