The people of Nepal are some of the most caring and warm people that I have encountered. On a recent trip to India and Nepal with some tea friends this month, I got to experience this warmth firsthand.

It came as quite a surprise to me when I heard the news of the earthquake in Nepal and the devastation of both life and culture in the region.

Many of us enjoy the teas from this region and as a show of support to let them know they are not alone, we have made contacts to bring relief directly to the people of Nepal.

With the help of the Lochan family of Siliguri, India, Young Indians (YI) and the Confederation of Indian Industry, aid is being brought to the border between India and Nepal and is being distributed as we speak. The picture on this campaign is the border at Kakarbhitta, Nepal where our group crossed a few weeks ago.

All proceeds will be donated in a timely fashion through this campaign to the Lochan family who will in turn work with the Confederation of Indian Industry to get the supplies (blankets, quilts, dry foods, medicine, mattresses, and water) across the border and in the hands of the thousands of people who desperately need help.

Your donation can be large or small,  but please help us get the supplies to the people of Nepal. 

Thank you for your support. Please share this with your family and friends.

Thanks,
--Confederation of Indian Industry, The Lochan Family, Jason McDonald, and Young Indians
