Namaskar everyone,
I am Sameer Sapkota (Firu). I work as a Mechanical Engineer and have been living in St Louis for over two years at this point. I like spending my time reading or writing or watching sports. I also like to be involved in community services, helping people and being a positive change altogether. Getting involved with GSTLNC has given me that opportunity to do something good for Nepali diaspora living in and around St Louis.
Namaskar everyone,
I am Prabesh Amatya. I am very interested to serve the community. While spending almost half of my youth here in US, and growing up in Nepal during early years, as our community is getting bigger, I think I can be a proper bridge between new comers and people who have been living here for a while. I am committed to fostering a sense of community and inclusivity within the organization, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. Beside this, I also have a vision to increase popularity of Nepali cultural programs and a way to bring the community together.
Namaskar everyone,
