NAF Communication Center
Information technology has been playing major roles in communication in today’s world to connect with each other and share information. In the present day, communication is mostly carried through the internet which is widely available in many parts of the world. However, there are still some remote places in Nepal where the internet is not accessible. One of the villages is Sisne which is located in the Eastern Rukum District of western Nepal.
In technical partnership with the Global Nepalese ICT Consortium (GNICTC), the Nepalese Association of Florida is launching a new project “Connect Nepal”. The project is focused on establishing the communication center in the ward no.5 of Sisne village which will serve 2000 people in the village. The communication center will be operated by the local Youth Development Center which will be utilized as Tele-Health, Tourism Information, Communication, and computer education, and sharing knowledge with other parts of the country.

Adopt The Highway Program
Nepalese Association of Florida (NAF) is currently run-in partnership with Florida Department of Transportation-Litter-Free Florida Highways where they assigned territory two sides of the Forest Hill highway (WPB, FL) intersection between Jog and Turnpike approximate distance of 1.5 miles. This program was launched to mark ‘NAF Silver Jubilee 2017’ and the goal is to reflect our civic engagement efforts for our community. Since last 5 years in this event our volunteers served many hours, picked many trash bags of trashes equivalent. This is indeed a perfect example of NAF giving back to the community where we reside and indeed a step forward toward introducing our Nepali American identity and involving our youths on all fronts. Since last 5 years this program was coordinated by community members Mr. Krishna Shrestha, Dr. Amar B Karki, Mr. Ram Sharan Thapa (NAF Past President) and Mr. Bimal Nepal (Current Coordinator and NAF Past President) and many youths and senior community members and this program would not be successful without the ongoing unconditional support from our youths and community members. This program runs every quarter.
Similar type of program is currently started by NAF Tallahassee Chapter “Adopt the Street”. The “Adopt A Street” program involves adopting a half-mile stretch of street for two years with the agreement to clean it six to twelve times a year under Keep Tallahassee Beautiful.
