Black Locust: a tree for Nepal's hill villages

I recently came from the United States with ten pounds of Black Locust tree seed. This is about a quarter million seeds. My germination tests find that around half are viable using hot water scarification method, so I can safely say that I have more than 100,000 good seeds.

I intend to distribute the seeds to hill villages. I need contacts in Nepal who can assist me in linking up with foresters in villages in the Kathmandu Valley and other regions. Can you help me?
