EIU Nepal Earthquake Relief

Donation protected
Nepal was recently hit by a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake & 101 aftershocks greater than 4.5 magnitude, inflicting infrastructural damages and thousands of casualties. There is widespread devastation across the country. The death toll, approaching 5000, continues to rise as search and rescue efforts are underway. The magnitude of the damage is still being assessed as hundreds of buildings have collapsed including many homes and Nepal’s heritage sites.

The immediate need for medical support, search and rescue, emergency shelters and basic needs is immense. Our beautiful country Nepal and its people need your support and prayers at this time of crisis. We are organizing a "Candlelight Vigil for Earthquake Victims in Nepal" at the Mellin steps on the west Quad side (in front of Doudna FIne Arts Building) at 7pm, April 29th.

Nepalese Students at Eastern Illinios University in collaboration with the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS), Asian American Association (AAA) and Association of International Students (AIS) are organizing a two-day fund raising program on campus to support the recent earthquake victims of Nepal. We will be raising donations for the Nepal earthquake victims, who survived with great losses of family, houses, historical sites, basic needs and a way of life. Our fundraising efforts will start from on Wednesday and Thursday at the EIU campus. We will continue to raise funds after Thursday as the the relief efforts continue.  Please share this message with anyone you wish. 

Funds raised will go toward the Help Nepal Network (http://www.helpnepal.net/).  The purpose of this organization is to help Nepal in child and orphan education and health. Currently, they are assisting in the earthquate rescue and restoration efforts and these funds will be utilized  for long term sustainable development.
