On Sunday, May 3, NYF president Som Paneru left with a team for a remote village in Northern Dhading district, called Satya Devi VDC, with two giant trucks of emergency supplies including food, clothes, large sleeping mats and 400 pieces of corrugated tin to make temporary community shelters. This is one of the worse hit areas near the earthquake epicenter.
In Kathmandu, NYF staff are continuing to provide ambulance and transportation services for patients discharged from hospitals. Ullens School in Kathmandu is availing vehicles to various volunteer groups for transporting relief materials to affected areas. We donated food supplies and other relief materials to a group to be sent to one affected village in Nuwakot.
At our two "recovery centers" for the quake victims, we are trying to trace the families of the victims to send them safely back home to their villages when they are well enough to return home. We are getting new arrivals too. One of them is a new mother with a 4-days old infant and a 4-year-old. Their house was completely destroyed by the earthquake but they are now safely sheltered with us.
Thank you for your support!
Namaste!
