Earthquake relief: Dhruba Simkhada
Donation protected
Dhruba Simkhada is a guide who leads treks in Nepal. I've been facebook friends for a while, dating to when Jeff Salvage worked with him on his visit. Although he's not a racewalker--it'd be a bit tough in the Himalayas!--he's a fan. Dhruba lives in Khatmandu in an area devastated by the earthquake two weeks ago. His house was destroyed and he is trying to rebuild it and his neighbors' homes. He's having a lot of difficulty setting up a fundraising page due to the earthquake, and also due to the major differences between our banking and internet systems here vs. Nepal. I have his banking info. and will forward any funds to his account immediately. It's not ideal, but for now the quickest way of getting him some much needed access to funds. Please help if you're able!
