United Sherpa Association (Sherpa Kyidug)

Dear Sherpa Brothers and Sisters, Tashi Delek !

Once again we would like thank everyone for showing your support & concern to save Dolma Sherpa . As stated earlier in our statement we have been very closely following Dolma Sherpa's case and have been in constant touch with the Nepalese Mission in New York of any development that is taking place.

As per our information Dolma's case has been appealed in the higher court but the March 16, 2008 hearing was not done because defense lawyer has not been hired yet.

We also received information about the worldwide fundraising activities going on in different countries and the amount collected so far from different organization and individual amounts to $ 30,000 approx.

The board meeting of United Sherpa Association decided to form 8 member Save Dolma Committee which will be reponsible for raising fund in the US to save Dolma and advising Sherpa Kyidug to make its decision to proper utilization of the fund generated for this purpose.

The first meeting of the Save Dolma Committee held its first meeting at Sherpa Kyidug's office and discuss all the options to raise fund for the release of Dolma Sherpa.

Sherpa Kyidug has already opened a Bank Account for Save Dolma Fund, and the web site for Save Dolma will be ready by this week which will feature all the information on Dolma case, the fundraing activities , information on how you can donate to Save Dolma Sherpa Kyidug's account etc. Pls stay tuned !

We will also be appealing for donation from the local Nepali communities here in NY for the Save Dolma Fund.

The second meeting of Save Dolma committee will be held at 12.30 PM on Sunday at Sherpa Kyidug's office in New York to discuss how we can effectively fundraise at the earliest

Despite our best effort to fundraise for Dolma at the earliest but there are so many legal matters that we have to be aware of as an orgaization before we proceed to do anything. We would like to assure everyone that Sherpa Kyidug, USA will do everything it can to raise fund to save Dolma from Kuwaiti Jail.

Thank you once again for all your support.

Its about time that we take a step to SAVE our own DOLMA SHERPA.

Its about time that we take a step to SAVE our own DOLMA SHERPA.

As we all are aware of the situation of one of our own sister Ms. Dolma Sherpa, whose clock is ticking even faster to death, I would like to draw your attention one more time. Ms. Dolma Sherpa is in the mouth of death and her son is in a foster home, thinking his mother will return home one day with lot of money to make the whole family happy. Well, the fact is, the little boy is unaware of what is going to happen to his mother and where his future is heading to. Dear all, various efforts of has been approached by lots of Nepali friends and organizations. As we all know from the previous press releases, the Nepalese community in Germany has started to collect funds from all those individuals and best wishers and has gained a massive world wide support. I would like to let everybody know, that this campaign is for all interested individuals who wish to see a work being done rather than follow procedures and talk. At least we all want to see Ms. Sherpa back in Nepal and reunite with her family. For this we appeal our Nepali Diasporas to help in any means, morally or financially to promote this campaign. For financial help, if anyone wants to help Ms. Dolma's cause, please forward the help in the following account.

This is completely a voluntary campaign and no body is obliged to contribute for this cause, neither organizations nor individuals.

Bank information is as follows: Bank Name:
Citi Bank, Germany Beneficiary Name:
B. M. Sharma Bank Routing Number: 300 209 00
Bank Account Number: 0709824195 IBAN:
DE30 300209000709824195 SWIFT: CIPRDEDD Please remember to add "Save Dolma Sherpa" in the remarks.

I would be more pleased and proud if our own Sherpa Kyidug could take a major role and lead this campaign by opening an account so that other interested Sherpa's and Nepalese living in New York could donate money to SAVE Dolma's life. We Sherpa’s have been quiet and always oppressed; I guess being quiet is good but not being oppressed. Lets unite as a team for this genuine case to save one of our own. People all over the world are raising funds for this cause and a lot of them are not Sherpa’s. If we as a team don’t take a collective step right now, no matter what the Kyidug achieves, we will always and truly be embarrassed when we meet another Nepali outside of our community.

Yours own,

Anthony Sherpa
