Mission Madhes (2)


Mission Madhes

Some early thoughts.

US Regions
  1. Northeast
  2. Midwest
  3. Southeast
  4. Southwest
  5. West
The Big Cities In America
  1. New York
  2. Los Angeles
  3. Chicago
  4. Houston
  5. Philadelphia
  6. Phoenix
  7. San Antonio
  8. San Diego
  9. Dallas
  10. San Jose
  11. Detroit
  12. Indianapolis
We will keep the constitution short and simple. We will need a national executive committee, nine members. We will need an executive committee for each of the five regions, seven members each. And we will need one for each major metro region, five members each.

We will have a five member Board of Advisors, to be appointed by the President in consultation with the Executive Committee.

The committees have to be as diverse as possible.

We don't want to overstretch ourselves. We have to have a limited agenda, and we have to learn to deliver well.
  • Holi event
  • Summer picnic
  • Events for the visiting Madhesi dignitaries
  • Education project for kids in Nepal
That last one is of special interest to me. We should be able to raise money from interested members and other sources to sponsor the education of select kids in those members' homevillages in Nepal.

And then we have to host monthly tea parties of the active members to do phone banking so as to ensure a rapid expansion of the organization. Could we get 500 members in America? Could we launch chapters in at least five other countries, and in all the Terai districts? That is the question.
