"Support Brings Nepali Student Struggling with Mental Health Back Home from UK"

A Nepali student, Vishal Dulal, who had been experiencing mental health issues and living homeless in the UK for almost a year, has returned to Nepal with the support of NRNA UK.

Dulal, a resident of Sindhupalchowk Melamchi-11, went to the UK for studies about two and a half years ago. However, after facing mental health challenges, he lived as a homeless person in parks and on streets in the UK. Recently, with assistance from NRNA UK, he was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London for treatment.

Efforts to bring Dulal back home had previously failed, even when a family member from Nepal attempted to persuade him. However, after persistent efforts from the Buddhi Foundation UK and the current Vice President of NRNA UK, Deepak Shrestha, Dulal finally agreed to return home.

NRNA UK's former Vice President Dipak Shrestha and the current President of Buddhi Foundation UK, Hit Kaji Gurung, played instrumental roles in facilitating Dulal's return to Nepal. The family had requested NRNA UK for support multiple times, and the organization eventually assisted in managing Dulal's return tickets and coordinating with the family.

NRNA UK President Hit Kaji Gurung conveyed gratitude to all members of the working committee, including Vice Presidents Deepak Shrestha and Sakuntala Gurung, for their financial and logistical support in arranging Dulal's airfare and making his return possible as per the family's wish.

After numerous failed attempts, I finally managed to register myself. The fact that there are still persistent issues that need to be fixed is incredibly frustrating. However, I firmly believe that NRNA should step in and offer regional support to facilitate the registration process. Until these annoying issues are resolved, it remains a challenging experience, particularly on iOS. Nevertheless, I maintain an optimistic outlook for the future, hoping for smoother and more user-friendly registration processes.

I urge everyone to register and choose your leaders for the next two years.

Prithvi Subba Gurung's statement:

It would be beneficial if everyone comprehended the following points:

The dissatisfaction among Nepalese residing abroad is spreading, influencing opinions within Nepal. We have failed to address the demands of those who have migrated to other countries. They are requesting dual citizenship from political parties. They suggest that individuals with dual citizenship should not be eligible to run for the positions of Prime Minister, President, Chief Minister, or Mayor, but they should be allowed to participate in local-level politics.

Currently, there are Chinese individuals who have obtained citizenship in countries like Singapore, Canada, and Australia. They identify themselves as Chinese Canadians or Chinese Australians. Lee Can Yu is an example of someone who migrated from China. However, he has encouraged all overseas Chinese to invest in China for the development of the country. China is providing special facilities to attract them.

Regrettably, we have been unable to ensure political participation within our own country. Even my party has failed in this regard. Therefore, we should also anticipate some form of contribution from the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA). The knowledge and resources they have gained abroad are valuable for the development of our country. However, we have not been successful in establishing trust and effectively engaging with them.
