Prem Baniya, a Journalist Striving To Bring Change for the Needy People

There are organizations which work for a specific cause or a target apart from monetary benefits. These are known as nonprofit organizations. It isn't necessary for an organization to have only one purpose. Organizations can exist with more-than-one goals depending on their philosophy. A nonprofit organization is one which is 'not determined by profit but by dedication'. We can include trusts, advocacy, charity, environmental, and religious groups in addition to the trusts in the list of common nonprofit organizations. Nonprofits generally raise the money they tend to spend further on their mission and to keep the processes running.

Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS) is one of those private nonprofit organizations, located in Atlanta. Their mission is to promote self-sufficiency for refugees, new immigrants, and the underprivileged through comprehensive health and social services. Also, founded on the belief "people need people," well that isn't wrong if we see on a broader perspective. Thus, CPACS becomes the first, largest and also the oldest organization in the Southeast keeping in focus the issues and concerns of Asian Americans but not limited to, especially of those women, children, and the families with low-incomes. Prem Baniya, a Nepalese journalist and social activist, joined CPACS in Jan, 2017 as a Program Coordinator, and has been helping out new immigrants, refugees, low-income families, and people who are less proficient in English. As a member of the advocacy team, Baniya advocates for social rights including the right to live, right to freedom, speech, and equality, etc. As an outreach coordinator and trainer, he also educates people regarding their rights while traveling. Baniya provides travel trainings and helps people to connect with each other.

Baniya has worked and continues working to bring real change for the needy people, society, and the nation altogether. He wants to see smiles on the faces of these people and also wants to plant the seeds of true happiness in their lives.

As a journalist, Baniya surely understands the condition of these people. Therefore, in order to make it better for them, especially the new immigrants, refugees, and low-income families he has devoted his work to them. His profession as a journalist made him realize what he should aim to do in life, and the steps that he needed to take in pursuit of his newly found goals.

Baniya is a multi-dimensional, talented, and robust personality of Nepal. In addition to being a successful journalist, he has also been engaged actively in communication media in Nepal for around 16 years. Furthermore, he is an influential writer and a productive social worker.

Nonprofit organizations rely on the devotion of their employees who firmly believe in their cause. Prem Baniya is an excellent example of a striving employee making sure to fulfill his life's mission, aligned with that of his nonprofit organization.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
