Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your kind donation to this project supporting those affected by the earthquake in Nepal. We got feedback from the field of the need to harvest rainwater especially in communities where water is scarce or difficult to carry in hills in water containers. This is disadvantageous and a heavy burden for women and children who are often tasked to do this difficult job. In order to provide solution to this, we provided our partner in Nepal with step-by-step guide how to make a rainwater harvester using concrete and iron. This is very cheap, durable, easy to do and can store water in large volumes. After this, we will instruct them how to install a unit in a community center as demonstration for the community. We are in contact also with international NGO's working in Nepal so that they can provide much-needed support. Some of them we met during the early days of Typhoon Haiyan and we keep closely communicating with them.

Again thank you very much for your generous support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora
