Dear readers,
first a big thank you for your help. Your support is keeping us going!
As everybody knows, a severe 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on Saturday 25th of April. 8 million people of 28 million Nepali population were affected by the earthquake and its aftershocks. People have lost their homes, about 16000 people are injured and 8000 died (numbers are still growing). Many people are still staying without food, water, electricity and a roof above their heads, especially in distant regions.

The prices in Kathmandu have been doubled. The government is trying to control all nongovernmental nonprofit organizations (NGO) and everyone who is trying to help the people. They are confiscating the humanitarian aid with the pledge to distribute it by themselves but nobody knows where it goes. The rice bags are being thrown from helicopters, so they burst and people get the rice mixed with soil and have no water to wash it. This may lead to many diseases.
God's blessed us and we are safe. But we cannot just sit and look at what's happening out there. Our hearts hurt for Nepal people. We have founded NGO "Nepali by heart" ("Ma Maa Nepal Org" in Nepalese) and trying to help as much as we are able to. We have the people in our team, who are powerful enough to fight with bureaucracy and get the lowest prices from shops. We have already raised more than $4000 from our friends and colleagues. With the first $1500 we have bought 250 tents, 500kg of rice, 500kg of noodles, 2400 bottles of water, 250 packs of instant noodles and cookies.

We have already delivered the help to the Nagarkot village and the Kathmandu slums - Ramkot, Balaju, Jeetpur Phedi.
Next places are Gorkha Vachhek, Dhading Salleyni, Chitwan Lothar Korak.
We are trying to help as many people as possible, so we are not just giving the help out of the truck - we have our people in some villages who know the real situation and real need of the people. Due to it, we are able to give the people what they really lack. Our volunteers meet us there and we are going from family to family, speaking with them and giving what they need. We don't pay money to our team members, all the job is based on people's enthusiasm and great desire to help.
We cannot hold our tears listening people's stories..

This fund was organized to make donations by people in the easiest and convenient way. But gofundme.com takes 5% commission from all donations (great that this money also goes for Nepal
http://www.gofundme.com/2015/04/27/gofundme-donating-..) and their payment partners charge 2,9% + €0,30 from every donation.
