Since the inception of the activities by Nepal Yolmo Social Service Association in 1990, some tangible impact and outcome has been felt within the Yolmo indigenous community. It's quite overwhelming to recall the situation when the Association was first founded and initiated its awareness creating activities pertaining the need of the Association and its mission, vision and goal. I still sense the embarrassed and apprehensive mentality of Yolmo people, while founding the Association. However, after founding of the Association the members of the

However, the Association is under the desperate needs of enormous support, understanding and encouragement from Yolmo individual, intellectuals and organizations working for the indigenous people within the country and around the world in order to nurture and evolve the Association enabling it to activate its activities for the preservation, promotion and enhancement of unique Yolmo language, culture and tradition as well as their entire aspects.

As we all know that the preservation and promotion of language, culture and tradition and other aspects are not an easy task for us; although we felt that it's our responsibility to create and promote the feeling of Yolmoness for which the entire members of the Association is engaging and striving in these activities with the firm conviction that in near future we would be able to achieve the desired goals preserving and enhancing the unique heritage of Yolmo indigenous people not only for our sake, but also for our future generation too.  

At this juncture, I as the President of the Association would like to take this opportunity to make my sincere request to all the Yolmo to realize the imperative needs of the association in order to uplift and enhance the unique indigenous heritage and entire aspects of Yolmo indigenous people in all fronts uniting under the banner of Nepal Yolmo Social Service Association.

Finally, I would like to request all the Yolmo individuals to contribute taking membership of the Association and disseminating the information of Yolmo Association and Yolmo identity where it is possible.
