After a long behind the scene preparation happening since November 2020 the day was finally here! Nepal Seattle Society and Seattle Football club were able to welcome our Nepalese youth to its inaugural soccer camp at Woodinville Sports Fields. This camp is designed for kids between the ages of 5 to 16. The camp will run for 14 sessions, every Sunday from 9-11 am PST through September 5th, 2021. A whopping 46 kids from our community have already signed up for this event!
Parents could be seen observing training and socializing on the side lines.
Our first-day turnout was quite impressive. A total of 33 kids participated alongside their parents. A tent was set up for the parents to check in on their campers and to complete the required waiver forms. Once the campers started to settle in, Anish Thapa (NSS Sports Committee Member) welcomed the parents and campers with a short introductory speech. The campers were organized into four different groups and assigned their respective coaches as follows:
Group 1: Sagarmatha (Age: 5-7 – Girls): Coach: Sophie Reingold, Rabi Tamrakar
Group 2: Dhaulagiri (Age: 5-7 – Boys): Coach: Lhakpa Sherpa
Group 4: Macchapuchhre (Age: 12-16): Coach: Prabat Limbu, Nabin KC, Suresh Pun
Another of our committee members/coach, Pramoj Adhikari, was seen assisting the coaches with setting up the equipment and coordinating the events. Most of our coaches have been trained from the US Soccer Learning Center and are certified as grassroots coaches. Three other coaches (Surya Lama Tamang, Sachin Gurung, and Bhim Thapa) will be joining us as the camp progresses.
Parents assisting with equipment setup .
The campers were full of enthusiasm and high energy as they could be seen excitedly participating in their drills and challenges. Even the soccer dads got into their action on the adjacent field participating in an impromptu 8v8 match! Other parents could be seen observing the training and were socializing on the sidelines. It was easy to notice how relieved people were to be outside on this typical Pacific NorthWest cool and calm morning especially after a long COVID lethargy now followed by the summer vacation.
It was well organized. Have not been to any soccer training. However, it felt like you guys managed well. We were excited to see kids enjoying themselves. They did not want to come home even after the training was over. Excited to see them on the field every Sunday :),
Feedback from one of the parents, Mr. Sanjay.
Thanks to the hard work and coordination of all of our volunteering coaches and committee members, we got to see the smiling faces of kids and the gratitude of their parents.

Nepal Rising has been actively involved in mitigating critical issues in Nepal. Recently, with the rampant rise of COVID-19 cases and lack for healthcare infrastructure, Nepal Rising has started a fundraiser to immediately provide much needed relief. You can visit their fundraiser page and read more about their current efforts.
Help us provide 400 critically ill patients with life-saving oxygen in Nepal
The second wave of COVID-19 virus has struck Nepal with deadly force. Every day, more than 7,000 new cases are reported and the death toll is growing. With less than 1,500 ICU beds and 600 ventilators currently available to service a population of nearly 30 million people, the health system is already overwhelmed. Hospitals are already turning patients away due to a lack of bed space and oxygen. The government estimates that an additional 48,000 cylinders are needed to meet the current demand.
Local community-driven isolation centers are providing a critical link in the frayed health-care system in Nepal. Covid patients needing oxygen are kept under supervision of a doctor until a hospital bed is available, buying precious time for patients battling Covid.
Nepal Rising is working with CoVID Alliance for Nepal, non-profit CREASION and other grassroots partners on the ground to support community isolation centers and hospitals requiring oxygen concentrators and cylinders.
We have only 2 weeks to get 100 life-saving oxygen cylinders to critical Covid patients in Nepal
You can help us obtain critical oxygen and save lives.
From Nepal Rising Fundraiser Page
Please visit their fund-raiser page to get more information and if you have the resource, please help by donating to the cause.
Nepal Seattle Society, along with other local Nepali organizations, has submitted a letter of plea to WA senators to facilitate COVID-19 vaccine, medical equipment & supplies relief aid for Nepal. We, the residents of WA state, are fortunate enough to have medical resources and vaccines available to us. However, as we have come to know via media and first hand experience, the situation in Nepal is dire because of rampant rise in COVID-19 cases.
Time is of essence, money alone can’t solve the problem, and we need to mobilize local professionals and local leaders with basic equipment like oximeters, thermometer and oxygen concentrators. Local professionals like Biomedical Engineers can fix the non- functional oxygen plants and ventilators in the health care facilities. But international development partners including UN agencies who are working are not able to mobilize these local resources and are not able to procure those minor equipment and supplies on time simply because of their complex procurement policies.”
Voice of a local development professional from Nepal.
Per the World Health Organization, today, on May 11, the COVID-19 positivity rate in Nepal is 44% with reported new 9,483 cases and 250 deaths. Some heart-wrenching statistics:
Nepal has the fastest infection rate in South Asia, faster than even India; the daily average rate of infection in the last 7 days is a staggering 30 per 100,000 people (compared to 28 in India) according to John Hopkins University
More than 404,000 people in Nepal have tested positive, overwhelming the hospitals and health service system that are turning away critical patients
Severe shortage of oxygen supply, resulting in increasing daily deaths
600 ventilators for the entire country, and the UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts that Nepal will need over 10,000 ventilators by May 24
Less than 2,000 ICU beds for the entire country with a scarcity of beds for patients
Only about 1% of the country has received vaccines against COVID-19 thus far
Hence, we collectively request our representatives to do their best to provide urgent aid to Nepal. The letter sent to our representatives can be found below:

One of our community members getting Pfizer vaccination.
The main goal of the event was to get as many people as possible to get their first dose of Coronavirus vaccine. The place was very organized and there were lots of volunteer making the process as smooth as possible for people who signed up to get their vaccines. We were able to reschedule many people for their second dose as well. We were really happy to see younger generation taking advantage of this opportunities sooner.
Our volunteers were available to help with translation and data collection.
We had about 55 people who came by just from our community. We continue to spread the words through social media and word of mouth. As a volunteer we were able to help not just our community but also be able to help other community as well. All of the volunteer did an amazing job, and all of our end goals was to get as many people vaccinated as possible and end this pandemic together.

Tuesday, April 13th का दिन अमेरीकाको औषधी तथा स्वास्थ्य विभाग र रोग नियन्त्रण तथा रोकथाम संस्थानले जारी गरेको सूचना अनुसार J & J खोप लगाएका ६ जना व्यक्तिहरुमा दुर्लभ तर अत्यन्त जोखिमपुर्ण मस्तिष्कमा रहेको नशामा रगत जम्ने (Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrmobosis, CVST) जस्तो प्रतिकिर्या देखापरेको छ ।
सरकारी तहबाट प्रभावकारी तरीकाले अगाडि कसरी जाने भन्ने विषयमा अर्को सुझाव नआएसम्म खोपको प्रयोग रोकिनेछ ।
सवै कोभिड १९ खोपबाट सुरछित रहनु मुख्य प्राथमिकता हो ।
वासिङटन राज्यमा अहिलेसम्म जम्मा ४ लाखमा लगभग १६०,००० J & J खोपको मात्रा परिचालन भइसकेको छ ।
अहिलेसम्म हामिलाई ती ६ जना बिरामीहरु जसले मस्तिष्कको समस्या भोगे उनीहरु वासिङटन राज्यका वासिन्दाहरु हुन् भन्ने विषयमा जानकारी छैन ।
के मलाई J & J खोपका कारण शरीरको कुनै अङ्गमा रगत जम्ने हुन्छ ?
देशभरी जम्मा ६८ लाख J & J खोपको मात्रा परिचालन भइसकेको छ र त्यसमा केवल ६ जना मानिसलाई यो असर देखापरेको छ । दुर्भाग्यवश हुन गएको शरीरको कुनै अंगमा रगत जम्ने जस्ता समस्याले पारेको यो प्रतिकूल समयमा याद गर्नुपर्ने कुरा यो जम्मा प्रतिशतको केहि भाग मात्र हो जसले गम्भिर असर देखापर्ने दुर्लभ देखाएको छ ।
तुलना गर्दा जस्तो:
३६६ मानिसहरुमा १ जनाको १००० माइलको दुरी तय गर्दा कार दुर्घटना हुनेछ । (स्रोत: डा. लिन्डक्विसट समाचार उपलब्धता 4/13)
१०,००० मानिसहरुमा १ जनामा कुनैपनि लोकप्रीय antibiotics को असर हुनेछ । (स्रोत: डा. लिन्डक्विसट समाचार उपलब्धता 4/13)
एकदमै कम १ लाख मानिसहरुमा १ जनामा J & J खोपबाट शरीरको कुनै अंगमा रगत जम्ने हुनेछ ।
यदि मैले J & J खोप लगाए भने के हुन्छ ?
मानिसहरु जसले J & J खोप लगाएका छन् यदि उनिहरुमा खोप लगाएको तीन हप्ताभित्र एकदमै टाउको, पेट, खुट्टा दुख्ने अथवा सास फेर्न गार्हो हुनेजस्ता भएमा आफ्नो डाक्टर अथवा स्वास्थ्य संस्थासंग सम्पर्क गर्नुपर्छ ।
डाक्टर अथवा स्वास्थ्य संस्थाबाट यस्तो घटनाबारे अभिलेख राख्नका निम्ति प्रतिकूल खोप घटनाको रेकर्ड सिस्टम लिंकमा जानुपर्ने हुन्छ । https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
J & J खोपका लागि नाम टिपाइसकेका मानिसहरुले के गर्ने ?
यदि स्वास्थ्य संस्थाबाट J & J खोपका लागि नाम टिपाइसकेको अवस्थामा ती स्वास्थ्य संस्थाले अब के गर्ने भन्ने विषयमा आफ्नो निजी स्रोतबाट जानकारीसहित तपाइलाई सुझाव दिनेछन् ।
स्वास्थ्य विभागले J & J खोपको मात्रा पहिले नै कम गराएको थियो ।
३.७ लाखमा १३ हजार मात्र J & J खोपको मात्रा हुने अनुमान गरिएको छ ।
वासिङटन राज्यमा प्राप्त जम्मा खोपमा ६ प्रतिशत J & J को खोप रहेको छ ।
J & J खोपको आपुर्तीमा सिमितता भएकोले यसको असर न्यून देखिएको छ ।
हामी बुझ्द्छौकि यस किसिमको खोप प्रयोगमा रद्द तथा रोक लगाउदा असुविधा उत्पन्न हुन्छ तर अहिलेको समयमा खोपबारे कुनै सूचना नआएसम्म यहि कदम चाल्नु उपयुत्त हुन्छ ।
यदि तपाइलाई यसको असर देखापर्यो भने:
खोप लगाएको तिन हप्ताभित्रमा यदि तपाइहरुलाई तलको कुनै समस्या देखापरेमा आफ्नो डाक्टर अथवा स्वास्थ्य संस्थासंग सम्पर्क गर्नुहोस्:
एकदमै टाउको दुख्ने
पेट दुख्ने
खुट्टा दुख्ने
सास फेर्न गार्हो हुने
के कारणले शरीरको कुनै अंगमा रगत जम्ने हुन्छ ?
तेस्तो कुनै अहिलेसम्म निर्धारित कारण छैन तर औषधी तथा स्वास्थ्य विभागका अनुसार खोप लगाइसकेपछि हरेक व्यत्तिको रोग प्रतिरोधात्मक शक्तिमा यो भर पर्नेगर्छ ।
डा. स्कट लिन्डक्विसट, एक्टिङ स्टेट हेल्थ अफिसरका अनुसार ६ जनामा देखापरेको शरीरको कुनै अंगमा रगत जम्ने समस्या J & J खोपसंग सम्वन्धित छन् तर खोपकै कारणले भएको भने होइन ।
