After the Earthquake: Update from Nepal today from a village in desparate need.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

A big big thank you to all of you who have donated, whatever amount, you can't begin to imagine what this means right now to these people who have lost everything.  When they saw donations from the US and Canada they were overjoyed.  Ishwar says that he is sleeping a little better now that he knows there are so many people around the world who are helping his people.  

With the money we raised we are distributing food through local volunteers. There has still not been a visit from either the gvt or an official aid organisation. I think I may have sourced water purification tablets from a charity in Katmandu and we are hoping to get some to the village tomorrow.  Apart from food and water we need to get a doctor and medicines and also a proper assesment of needs in the medium to long term. I am totally new to this but am using all my contacts and skills to get the best help possible. Ishwar who comes from the village is presently on a scholorship studying agriculture in Israel and he is distraught but my family in Israel are reaching out to him tomorrow.

For anyone who has not already and would like to donate any amount and know that their money is going direct to those in greatest need please message me and I can direct you to the paypal or cc link.

Here are a couple of pictures from today;

Thank you so much for these updates.  It will remind us to donate again and again so that this village will continue to get food.
