Our Vision for the Future
To build a strong community among all Sherpas residing in California and eventually build a community center to serve all our members.
Community Center Project
Our primary long-term goal is to establish a dedicated community center that will serve as a hub for all Sherpa community activities in California. This center will provide a space for cultural events, religious ceremonies, community gatherings, and educational programs.

- Kitchen for community meals
- Meditation and prayer room
- Meeting rooms for community organizations
- Cultural education classrooms
- Library and resource center
