This gone weekend, we, a bunch of Nep-folks, were talking about going to Phoenix, despite the drastic climate. During our conversation one IMPORTANT queSTio? popped out. We were talking about the total Cash, in average, one might spend during that trip. Suddenly, my friend Rajesh spoke out "By the Way where do the Funds Collected during ANA GO?" Since, I have never been a memeber of the ORganizing committee or the ANA executive committee I have no idea about what does it take to host ANA convention??
To be honest, we all saw some considerable amount of funds being raised. But we had no idea about where those funds go?? The registration fees-the cultural shows entrance fees-- some functions entry fees-- the BAnquete entance fee(very expensive).. and all those fees.
And we tried to relate those funds with the possible and ongoing problems with us Nepalese here. Such as funerals- illness- education-etc.. And the illness of "One of our Chelebeti.. from CONNEcticut" and the urgency to collect fund for her recovery had once been the TOPIC of discussion in this WeB COMMunity only. I am not sure but DId ANA do anything to her, or is ANA supposed to be helping in these kind of situations?? And I had participated in a couple of FUnerals here in MA.. and the immediate need of MOney to get those funerals going... Did ANA help there?? And I can tell many Nepalese are likely to face problems--and wil be in need of immediate financial assistance.. so do ANA do anything at those circumstances??
I would like to know from the responsible BODieS.
I can write a lot on this but I need to hear ANA personnels first.
I hope ANA bodies will hear about this posting.
Jai Nepal

Hmmmmmm this is something we do not really think about. Never been to any ANA thingie but been to tons of charities organised for helping the poor folks back home. Wonder if the money is really spent on the "right" people. I did inquire once and I was told a budget sheet would be forwarded to me but so far nothing. Now that the topic is brought up, I will go dig into the matter a little further. I can ONLY hope and pray that the organizer of ANA do not pocket much of the money. Not being offensive but have seen that been done by many NGOs in Nepal and am kinda skeptical about this whole thing of donations being collected to help the poor.
Just some thoughts.

Man, ANA rips you off like crazy. I was at the conventions at Philly, and Chantilly,VA. Philly was great. My sister almost won that beautypagent. hehe. she was second runner up. Anyway, when i was at chantilly, you had to pay for the rigistration first. But registering wouldn't get you anything, you just wasted about $52 on a piece of paper and with your name on it. Then when you had lunch, you had to pay, you had dinner you had to pay, you wanted to watch 1974AD band at the concert, you had to pay. For any friggin thing, the registration cost didn't buy anything. So, i see it as a rip off and nothing else. The programs are getting boring every year. In Philly it was great, in cahtilly, i couldn't wait for the thing to finish.
I remember one time, around 2001 i think, there was a convention at North Carolina. with soccer competetion(indoor). that was actually great. For $25 registration, you were allowed in game, had food, and anyother programs that was goin on. Whoever did it, did a great job. i don't know the organization's name. But i would rather go to their conventions than to ANA

I have wondered and vocalized my concern about the funds of ANA and the lack of transparency. The-then organizers just told me that the funds would cover the convention but somehow was not able to give data as to what the costs were and how much was raised. And, this was when I was part of the "organizing committee" -- sadly there were only a couple of us ("young people") who were questioning the funds and i think we somehow let ourselves be silenced....However, after that ANA has never gotten any money from me!!! If people involved with the ANA right now could discuss this issue -- maybe even at the convention-- it would be a big step towards financial transparency and accountability.

ANA's accounts are availabble for all to see in its web-site. Since the questions has been raised about the annual conventons, check the following link:
http://www.visi.com/~shah/cgi-bin/ana/resources/in_touch_year21_issue1_2003.pdf
You will find the last convention's account on page 15. For those of you who are interested in finding out what goes into hosting an ANA convention, see the article by Naveen Dutta on page 3-4.

Instead of following ANA convention for sports, lets think about organizing East coast tournament (maybe Sajhapur Tournamnet) ourself. This year, players will be charged about twice ($25) registration fee than general registration ($10-15). And most of us are going their to play sports or support team, Is it worth to contribute to ANA? The ANA need to undestand that their conventions have beem successfull not beause of what ANA has contributed to nealese society, its because of our interests in sports.
General cost of going Phoenix, $ 300 plane+$ 200 hotel + $ 100 registration..worth it??

That was a good point you brought out Mr.ProudNepali. I was one of the volunteer @ ANA Denver 2003. We (Nepalis from Colorado) did a lot, worked hard for months and months to make ANA successful and it was all volunteer work. None of us got a single penny. It all went to RMFN (Rocky Mountain Friends of Nepali) and from there it went to the member of ANA. Rocky Mountain didn't get any money raised from ANA.
ANA should have made thousands of dollars each year.
Registration fee = $30
Cultural show (both day) = $ 35
Banquete = 25 was it ???
Add all those times couple of thousands..... Now that's a lot of money.......
Few days ago I was having a discussion about the same thing with my family. WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY GO ??? I agree with you Mr.ProudNepali ANA should be helping out our NEPALIS COMMUNITY in USA.
I would love to hear from one of the ANA member.
Peace out..........

Although I am presently a member of ANA Executive Committee, all my replies in this forum are my personal opinions and should not be considered offficial ANA's response.
OK now to ProudNepali: what other enquiries you are talking about. Be specific, I will give my opinion as best as I can.
To Rekha: The amount made in Denver (which BTW was one of the few financially successful, conventions) was distributed to RMFN(?), Nepali cultural Center, and ANA. (See the link provided earlier). How much went to each of them was decided by RMFN and not by ANA.
Also, are you implying that individual members of ANA pocketed the money. We all are providing voluntary service costing us lot of time and money.
I am delighted that young(er) Nepalis in america are showing interest in ANA. Join ANA, be active, and improve ANA. It does not a lot of reform.

Shukla ji, I know what you are saying. All I'm trying to say is that RMFN did their job as a host and so did all the volunteers. The money was paid for renting Banquet hall, setting up stage, sound system, stage itself and lot of other things. We (ANA 2003 hosts) estimated all the cost and paid for it, but what happened to rest of the money ??? I'm not saying ANA members took them but where is it ??? Like Mr. ProudNepali said, shouldn't it be used to help nepalis in US ???
Good luck with ANA 2004 Mr. Shukla

Dhanyabaad Shukla ji.
I were just wondering if ANA did anything to help a girl from Connecticut, a student rather, who had to go through a serioud surgery?? there is a posting about that isssue in this community for the details. If you wish, I may find it out and bring it to you.
and I were also wondering if ANA has been helping the tragic families/relatives during the funerals of their beloved ones?? There had been two untimely/accidental deaths of two Nepalese and at different times last year, and those families were having hard times paying for all the bills.
Also, please let us know if ANA had been helping Nepalese students here in AMericas(NOrth) during their difficulties?
I know you are giving your opinions on other accounts, but as an executive committee member (current or past) you might have some idea about these issues. Let us know if you have anything to say.
Please do not Feel forced or pressurized to answer them. if not you, someone else can volunteer to answer them. Or you can have someone else answer these inquiries.
From one Nepali to another. Please do not take it personally.

Lakshmi I agree with you girl, I don't think ATHLETES should be paying $ 40. That's way too much. Most of the athletes are like you said are young STUDENTS and they work hard to earn money for their rent, food and school. Guys and Girls wait whole year and save all their money to go to ANA and making things more expensive doesn't seem reasonable. Last year ATHLETES had to pay $20 or 25 ??? that included registration fee and gift package with that.
Attending ANA is really expensive. Plane fee, Hotel, Food, Shows, Registration. Damn that's already few hundred bucks. I think ATHLETES should pay a little less then $40. That 's a little too much. Just my thoughts.........
Lets see what happens this year. Peace Out..........

In a typical Sajha fashion, a lot of words are being thrown in; some of these frankly do not make any sense to me. No matter, I will briefly comment on some of the issues raised:
1. Why Phoenix? As has been explained before, ANA convention this year is being held there because only Phoenix Nepali group volunteered to do it. ANA, claims to be, wants to be, pretends to be (take your pick) a America-wide organization, and in ealry few years it was blamed for holding conventions only in the East Coast. No matter where the convention is held, it will be inconvinient to many.
2. Heat: Well ANA meets on or about July 4 each year, and that happens to be hot in most of the United States.
3. Expensive: It is expensive to run conventions, Out of 20 or so conventions ANA has held only a few have made money. It stared with having meeting in some public places, with local Nepalis hosting the visitors, but now it has become too big to continue in that fashion.
4. Supporting Nepalis in trouble: While no body doubts that it a noble goal for not just ANA but all other Nepali organizations to be able to help people in times of trouble, practically it is very difficult to implement. First you need a lot of fund available, then the question arises on whom to support and by how much?. How do you allocate the money: on the basis of who asks for it first? who has a more critical disesae?, who is more needy?. Who determines these?
In addition to these, there are legal questions too. Is it legal for a non-profit organiaztion like ANA to help Nepalis only? With plenty of fund, all these issues can be handled, but at the present stage it is virtually imposiible to formalize these individual charitable cases.
ANA has decided for now, and my regional association (Florida Nepal Assocaition) also has decided that all they can do is disseminate the information via its mailing list and let people decide who they want to support. If you look at the Connecticutt case, you will find that a lot of ANA members have indeed contributed.
5. ANA Convention Programs including Sports: Again it goes to the fact that it is in Phoenix and it is hot there. Not much can be done regarding that. Please realize that the prorams. locations,time fees, are all decided by the local organizing group (with ANA's approval). Any complaints/suggestions should really be directed to them. I do not know about fees for atheltic events, I hope it is not $40 per person, that sounds too steep. But again talk to the Sports coordinatosr there, they know the actual cost involved in organizing these events.
Finally, I want the younger generations to realize that we were once young too. we came here as students too (most of us). When we first came, there were no Nepali organizations (actually very few indiduals were there), and we saw the need to organize for the same reasons that a lot of youg peole are raising. Join these organizations (not just ANA but your regional ones too) and help them develop. It is much easier to change an organization from within than from outside.

Thanks for the response SHukla Ji.
No offense but it is quite unbelievable that ANA Convention results in loss??? As I said eariler I haven't been involved in the organizing committee so I am just asking. I might be wrong but many people will agree with me.
As about the COnnecticut case... I am sure many more individuals had had helped her. I weren't talking about the ANA members donating volunteerily. I were asking about the ANA itself. ANA can take this suggestion "The matter as serious as of COnnecticut" none should question how much to help and in what cases to help. I am sure Nepalese folks here in US will all agree on that. And funeral cases... you bet we will agree on also.
So, are you trying to say that the FUNDs collected during ANA Convention is in charge of the local organizing bodies rather than the ANA itself?? I might be mis-guided here but that's what I feel after reading your posting.
I expect more clearification from relaitve bodies.
However, I really appreciate your honest effort SHukla Ji,
Jai Nepal

As far as I know, the Fund raising that ANA does is for designated activities. Its primary focus always has been money for Nepal Education and Cultural Center (NECC). then there are some School/Fairmont University's scholarship.etc. There is no "general pupose" fund raising for ANA to the best of my knowledge.
Like with any fund raisers, make sure what the fund is for, befpre contributing.
May be it is time for ANA to start collecting money for "urgent Needs" case. I personally do not thiinl it is a good idea, but that is matter for ANA members to decide.
If you look historically, yes conventions were not money makers. Last year was truly exceptional (making about $ 9,000 distributed to ANA, NECC, and RFMN). A year before that was less than 3000 dollars.

Shukla ji,
With all due respect, as far as the Conventions are concerned, ANA only wants the glory without the responsibilities and this is a classic example. Why should complaints / suggestions be directed to the local organizers only ? Why can’t ANA play more proactive and supportive role ? I am sure if ANA is willing to take some calculated risk or even subsidize the cost per players, the fee would come down. Where would the budget come from ? Well, a portion of profit from Denver Convention. If you take pride in the fact that there has been an exponential grow over the years, please take care of the reasons : local organizers and primarily sports teams.
ANA also turns blind eye on controversies. Eg : Eligibility of players of non nepali origins. This has been debated year after year. Why isn’t there some kind of organizational policy to put an end to this. Why are all the burdens on the local organizers ? If local organizers assume all the risks and ANA wants to watch from the sideline, it’s about time ANA should forfeit the profit as well.

When I said complain/ suggest to local organizing people, I did not mean ANA should not be involved at all. After all it is ANA's convention and it should and does take the final responsibility. What I mean is that, the local people know the problems /costs/ space etc in detail than most ANA executive members. And they can address the problems appropriately.
I personally do not know the details, but after reading Mr. Dutta's report from last year, I agree with you that ANA should set some rules for Sports. May be it is too late for this year, but would some of you in Sajha community, come up with plan/rules/guidance etc for future use. I will present it to the Executive Board's meeting. Or better, perhaps we can have a forum on this issue at the Phoneix convention itself, if the organizing committee can give us time and a room. Any volunteer for orgnizing such a forum?

I would love to know ANA’s involvement and contribution from it’s Executives or active members. In what capacity and scope was ANA involved, say in last 2 Conventions. May be I don’t know any better and you can help me see otherwise but without the Conventions, ANA by itself is worthless. The successes of these Conventions should go to the local organizers because ANA as an organization is so bad that it didn’t even have a booth for promotion / membership drive etc in last Convention. Then again, I may not know any better. Please clarify.

To Horizon:
For the last time, let me try to clarify a few issues.
1.Local organization committee is appointed by ANA, and there really is, organizationlly speaking, any differrence. The only reason, I have been separating these two in this thread is that for complaint/suggestions/questions etc the local people will be more effective.
2. If you think ANA is worthless, let us not waste time talking about it.
3. However having said that, unfortunately, you are right that most people come to these conventions for sports/partying/matchmaking etc rather than ANA per se. It seems that ANA is the only convention in the world which attracts more than 80% of people who are not its members. It is inefficiency on ANA's part that it has not been able to incorporate these people in ANA.
Have a nice weekend!!

Sukhlaji,
I am impressed with your willingness to participate in this thread. You answered most of the questions raised on the behalf of ANA deftly. Even some postings were not respectful you took time to answer them. Very nice of you. We need more communications more dialogue which will demolish the wall of misunderstanding that exists between two generations- (a generation who were student once and a generation who are student now). [Well not in this thread but in other new thread, could you write how it was like to be a student then-if your time permits :-)]
One thing I want you to understand why new generations are weary of organisations like ANA. As you know there are mushrooming numbers of organizations like ANA all over America. Most organizations invariably claim they are the best and the biggest organizations. Often these organizations are politicized and became a vehicle just for personal prominenance. I live in Washington DC area. I saw here how a good organization like Nepal Youth Organization(NYO) became almost defunct under the leadership of certain individuals. These individuals instead of nuturing the organizations used the organization for the personal aggrandizement. No wonder the election of this organization which used to draw losts of energy, spirit and passion among youths couldn't even draw candidates.I am just giving an example how an Organization generates disdain among youths and I am sure you know many such stories. [ Btw, I think now NYO is in good hand. Smsainju- a veteran of sajha is a current president-I am optimistic he will do something to restore Organization's dignity] The point I am attempting to make here is when you were a student you had a vision of how organization could help people , you didn't see organizations used for vested interest. Now in our time, we see organizations- hundreds of them- fragmented- lead by people who had questonable integrity. That is why I think new generations look suspiciously the activities of any organizations. And this hurts even the good organizations which are genuinely trying to do good works. I don't know what should be done but I am sure the approach you are taking( explaining and answering - thus clearing out the rumor) is helpful and for that you deserve kudos.
Have a good weekend to you too!

Hmmmm THanks people for your thoughts/opinions/observations... you name it.
Shukla JI I am once again very appreciative of your time and effort. Still things keep on popping out here and there. I am sure these kinds of threads/discussions can contribute towards strengthening of ANA and similar foundations. So many people have been contributing to this particular thread and hundreds of them have been keeping track of the postings, that should be taken as a positive feedback.
I wonder what you meant when you say "It seems that ANA is the only convention in the world which attracts more than 80% of people who are not its members?"
WHat does the REgistration means?? the $20 regisration fee per head??? and every single year.. I do not see what does it mean when someone registers fo the particular organization, and still isn't a member. bY viture of us being Nepali,, I guess we are already eligible to take part in the Convention. For every single event, there had been fees. Cutltural shows, banquete, sporting events, etc.. So I did not get it right when you say we are not members yet.
Since, I haven't been a part of the Convention organizing committee I do not want to write anything regarding the difficulties of the program organization. But I do have friends who had been the members of the organizing committee. Especially from Denver/CO. I have been hearing that all the services (time/money/work) done by most of the local members were done voluntarily. They didn;t get paid for their time, service, or gas for their cars. ON top of that They had to pay for their own hotel-food-registration-cutlural shows.. and everything. SInce manpower is for free :: I do not envision the Loss of the convention. Every venues had been soldouts.. i heard tickets were even resold. Maybe---- none dare to keep track of all the funds. Of the costs of the ANA Convention in Denver, regardless of Navin Dutta's article.. I do have figures provided by the actual active volunteers. They do not match at all.
This thread wasn't created to go through every single details so Let's stop the accounts here for the time being. We are more interested in Contribution ofANA towards Nep-folks here in needs.
Folks please contribute some time on your Arse here in Sajha.
GO ANA go
