Help villages in Nepal
Donation protected
Dear friends,
I am sure you have all heard of the recent earthquake (magnitude 7.9) in Nepal; it is truly heartbreaking and devastating. It is one of the biggest earthquakes in the history of Nepal. More than 4,000 people have died and many more are injured and displaced. Historical places like this are no more standing.
My village, Nubri, is very close to the epicentre. I have heard from my friends that almost all of the houses in my village have collapsed and that the villagers are sleeping outside in the open area without proper gears, food, shelter and medical support. The typical houses are made out of stones and wood with very poor structures.
I am very sad that currently I am not with my people in their hardest time. I am also worried that rescue measures will not reach these remote high-altitude areas (Nubri is at 5,000 meters). Through this fund relief, I am hoping to help many villages in the Manaslu area, including my own village, Lho.
The blue residences, pictured here, for young monks in Lho village have collapsed.
Your kind contribution will not go in vain. They will be used for shelter, food and medical supplies. I grew up in Nubri and know many people on the ground who can bring in supplies with this fund. Please, keep our country in your prayers and thoughts as well. Thank you very much for your kind support and generosity in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Dechen
