Those early days gathering helped us to create special bonding. Our few gatherings formed the bonds that eventually solidify into long-lasting friendships.
Creating community is an important part of receiving the support we all need to navigate through life.
Our community connection with here and Nepal.
Our modern Western lifestyle can isolate us from one another, it is often difficult to forge meaningful connections. Self-protection and mistrust prevent us from reaching out to neighbors and peers, and we consequently feel like we don’t truly belong anywhere. Yet creating community can be as simple as reaching out within our own neighborhoods. To form the bonds that eventually solidify into long-lasting friendships, we must first be willing to rise above the walls of suspicion and doubt dividing us from the individuals who inhabit our neighborhood, block, or our building.
Your overtures of community needn’t be complicated. If you are a new to New Jersey neighborhood, simple call, email or message to introduce yourself.
We have many stories to share. We just want to connect with the community during the time of need. Our FONNJ is here to help. So make sure to register with our organization and perhaps we can help you to connect with our Nepalese community.

Come share your story with our community people telling them a bit about yourself and how you plan to positively contribute to your locale, even if it is something as straightforward as planting attractive flowers in our Peace Garden. Or if others have recently moved in nearby, let us know, so that we can schedule some time to welcome them to the area. By doing so, you can calm any misgivings they have while demonstrating that your neighborhood is a nice place to live.
It is much easier to meet people while outdoors, so come join our first Nepali American Heritage Celebration, you will have chance to meet Nepalese community from the whole New Jersey. Come say hello and namaste to our newly acquainted friends, and you will likely get to know your neighbors speedily. And one of the easiest ways to build a sense of community is to organize neighborhood projects and events that bring people together in service or in fun.
Even if you have little in common with your neighbors, your proximity to one another can offer a wonderful opportunity to pursue new friendships and working relationships. You may not see eye to eye on matters of spirituality, politics, or lifestyle issues, but each of you understands that community helps people feel connected. As you grow to know and then to like one another, the city or town where you reside will truly become your home.
