Message from the president

Dear Community Members,

Reflecting on our journey, from a small group to a growing community, it's heartening to witness our progress. With each passing day, our bond strengthens, and our numbers grow. It's time we pass on the torch of our culture to the next generation, enlightening them about the beauty and impact of our mixed cultures. Let's unite and extend our hands in unity. Together, we can nurture respect, love, and support among one another. By doing so, we'll not only strengthen our roots but also showcase to the world that we are one big family - the Nepali-American community Harrisonburg Virginia. Join us in this beautiful journey of growth and cultural preservation.

With warm regards,
NACV
