Nepal Needs Our Help

Credit: Krish Dulal

I will like to highlight the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal. I am quite sure you are aware of the details. I will not focus on the fact that presently over 3700 people are dead,7000 injured and millions of dollars worth of infrastructure destroyed. The death toll is rising by the minute.

Rather, my focus is on what we can do to help. Nepal needs relief materials, food, water, sanitation materials, medical assistance and a lot of other things. The country has just one major airport with one runway. Getting materials in has been a difficult task.

However, several organizations are already in Nepal and you can send your donations to them. I will list some of them below.

Please, lets be our brothers' keepers and send what we can. Click on the links below to go to the donation sites of the various organizations already in Nepal.
