Saathi Nepal is a new association formed just recently in Luxembourg with Dependra Basnet as its president. It is an association established by the efforts of well-wishers of Nepal, Indians of Nepali origins, and, of course, Nepalis, all with an objective to help Nepalis in Luxembourg.
Although it has already been almost two decades since Nepalis have been living in Luxembourg, it is only now that an association of Nepalis has been formed.
Remembering those days, when several years earlier, one had to wait for months to meet a Nepali, Prem Lal Sharma recalls, "I was so desperate to talk to a Nepali that on seeing a person who looked like a Nepali to me, I went to talk to him. But he turned out to be from South America."
Narayan Gurung, who previously lived in Pokhara, expresses, "Now that we've successfully founded this association, I feel that we've entered a new age."
Now, if any Nepali wants to meet someone from his country, s/he can simply go to the office of Saathi Nepal. In addition, if a Nepali in Luxembourg needs any help, he can readily get it from the office of the association, which is located in the capital city Luxembourg.
