Tibetan Community Nepal Quake Fund

Jason Upton (from Australia) and Deniz Csernoklavek (from the UK) live near a very small community of Tibetans which is located in Shivapuri National Park in the mountains just north of Kathmandu. The community is made up of Tibetan nuns, monks and lay people. Before the earthquake there were about a dozen houses and a small temple. All of these are now destroyed. They have either been completely flattened or are structurally ruined. They have no sanitation and there are immediate health concerns. The eldest woman is 88 years old. They are currently sleeping outdoors and the monsoon will soon be starting. We have managed to provide them with some tents, medicines and immediate supplies but this is a short-term solution. We need to start rebuilding their houses as soon as possible.
Although a lot of international relief is pouring into Nepal, it is very unlikely to reach such a small community. Furthermore, there are political tensions which make it hard for Tibetan communities to access relief aid. For these reasons, plus our very personal connection with this beautiful little community, we both feel compelled to help them rebuild their homes. We have already found a western architect who will survey the buildings this week, and we have a local builder who can start working as soon as funds are available. In this way, the building will also help the local economy. 
Please consider donating any amount no matter how small. Due to the internet restrictions of the community in Nepal, the donation page has been set up by my old friend Richard Howarth in Australia. Hence, he is listed as the page author. But please know that he has done this at our request. Also please note the currency is in Australian dollars. All money will come straight to this community.  We will personally make sure that all donations go towards the rebuilding of the community's homes. 
We will endeavour to post updates online so people can see how the work progresses but please understand that this will be impacted by poor local internet connections. Thank you for considering supporting this appeal!
