Important Note on Nepali School Registration PDF Print E-mail
Dear members,

Through this email we would like to seek your help in maintaining the privilege that, we NCAO members, have been able to enjoy from Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) for the past several years. And, unless we act, we will lose that privilege. 

The subject is Nepali language school. As you may be aware, the Nepali language school is starting its NINTH academic year this September. Except for the first two years, we have had the privilege of having two Nepali teachers. OCDSB has been very considerate to our community so far and has supported two teachers despite the fact that we qualified for only one teacher based on their guidelines of teacher-pupil ratio. 

However, this time around, OCDSB will not provide the second teacher if we cannot demonstrate to them that we have enough students. If we cannot have the second teacher, we will be forced to have students ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 8 in one class room. This is obviously not congenial for effective learning for children. 

Therefore, we would like to request all parents to bring their child(ren) going to Kindergarten to Grade 8 to register on for Nepali School on 11th of September (Saturday-starting 9 am in the morning) at D Roy Kennedy Public School at 919 Woodroffe Avenue on the second floor.

If we have enough students, OCDSB will provide two teachers. Our primary estimates suggest that we have enough children to make a case for two teachers. However, this will be possible only if you bring your child(ren) for registration. 

We are counting on you for showing the required number of students on that day. Please spread the word to new and potential NCAO members who may not receive this e-mail on time.

The school is free of cost except for a $ 10 registration fee per child that will have to be paid on the day of registration (11th of September). All costs of schooling are borne by OCDSB. 

Looking forward to seeing you on the 11th of September at 9 am and receiving your continuous support this year as well.  

Thank you.

Ajoy Bista, On behalf of the NCAO Board
 
NCAO Annual Food Drive 2010 - Press Release PDF Print E-mail

Sunday August 05, 2010
Ottawa, Ontario

2010 Annual food drive organized by the Nepalese Canadian Association of Ottawa (NCAO) culminated in a grand success and exemplary community participation. With this year’s collection of $24,000 (non-perishable food items and cash), NCAO’s food drive to benefit the Ottawa Food Bank raised over $70,000 since 2003.

The final event “The multicultural dance and music show” on Saturday July 31 at Andrew Hydon Park Ottawa performed by 67 talents from 12 cultural communities entertained an enthusiastic crowd of about 1000 in a most pleasant weather.  Other activities such as, train ride for children (managed by Barrhaven Lions), auction booths for donated items, and Rogers TV/ Tim Hortons Community Cruiser well-liked by people of all groups.

NCAO volunteers have been working for several weeks in door to door food/ donation collection, and visited over 5000 households in many localities across Ottawa. All communities have been very inspiring to our volunteers, and communities enthusiastically welcomed our volunteers in their neighbourhoods.

This has been promising throughout the exceptional support from many local communities, artists, volunteers, businesses, media, social motivators and activists, and charity lovers. Because of charity-welcoming communities, NCAO community is quickly becoming a popular multi-community charity event in Ottawa, indicating a clear message that a small community, such as NCAO, can make a big contribution to a charity world. Size does not matter to contribute, but the willingness and commitment of the members prevail successes.

NCAO thanks to all supporters for their generous supports and encouragements during the entire campaign.

Look forward to your continuing support and encouragement for our future events.

Thank you,

Krishna H Gautam
Coordinator, NCAO Annual Food Drive to benefit the Ottawa Food bank
