Dear community members, families and friends,

We are extremely saddened by the news of the devastating earthquake in Nepal. We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the families who have been affected by this calamity and pray for the speedy recovery of injured ones. May the departed souls rest in peace. Our hearts are with the bereaved families.

In such difficult time, we all Nepalese living in Edmonton and surrounding areas are coming together to help victims of this devastating earthquake. We encourage everyone to stay strong and united. On behalf of all Nepalese community people in Edmonton, Nepalese Canadian Society of Edmonton (NECASE) is coordinating fund raising activity by establishing “Nepal Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund 2015”. To initiate the fund raising effort NECASE has decided to donate $5,000 to this fund. We sincerely request all community members to come forward and support the cause whole heartedly. To plan a concerted effort of the fundraising we are forning a fund raising committee under the leadership of NECASE. We request all to come to the monthly Chiyaapaan Kaaryakram to help in this effort.


We are creating paypal account to collect the fund online >>

If you want to donate by cash or cheque we are assigning volunteers so please stay tuned.

Thank you.

Radio Kathmandu

 

Dear Society Members,

Radio Kathmandu is one of the programs NECASE initiated and ran successfully. Unfortunately, CJSR manager informed the NECASE Board that Radio Kathmandu has been taken off the air for the past six months due to lack of regularity in the program. It was also learnt that Sunday's 11:00 to noon slot allotted to Radio Kathmandu is cancelled. To gain a time slot for Radio Kathmandu in CJSR, NECASE has to put a new application. The CJSR manager also informed that to put an application, all radio hosts must pass six-weeks training conducted by CJSR. Upon successful completion of the training the manager will decide whether or not to allot time slot to Radio Kathmandu.

Because of proximity to the CJSR station and being a Radio Kathmandu host, the Board requested Sudip Subedi to initiate the application process as soon as possible. Radio Kathmandu needs large number of dedicated volunteers to run the program. Please come forward to volunteer in hosting Radio Kathmandu program. If you are interested, committed to long term association with Radio Kathmandu and dedicated to volunteerism, send your interest to Remant KC, General Secretary at remant.kc@gmail.com. Please remember each host has to go six weeks training conducted by CJSR to become Radio Kathmandu host.

Thank you.
