Last year on April 25, an magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal costing 9000 people their lives and injured another 20, 000. It is the deadliest quake  in the history of the country. A year later, many who lost everything in the quake are still struggling. 

My name is Theodora Yeung and I am a software engineer at Google. Together with 15+ of my colleages, we are going to Kathmandu Nepal to use technolgy to assist with the rebuilding effort. 

The highlight of this trip, organized by Effort.Org, is a 54-hour hackathon. We will be building tools, apps, websites alongside local engineers to help with local recovery efforts. 

How can you help?
$10, $20, $50... Any amount will be extremely helpful.

100% of the donation will go to rebuilding efforts and will be matched by Google.  My goal is to raise $2000 this March.

How is the money spend?

37.5% - Local school projects
25%     - Grants to local non-project organizations
7.5%    - Hackathon 
6.5%    - Translator
10%     - Staff 
11%     - Misc


Why you should fund this?
Your donation will go a long way helping a fellow human being in need. I will bring back photos, videos and stories for all. I will be forever grateful for your generosity! 



Why am I doing this?
The pursuit of happiness; giving back to the people in need. Being there physically will give me perspective that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Some of you may have heard of me talking about going to Nepal for months and I am finally heading over there on March 18!



Thank you so much for your support! 

Cheers,
