U.S. Embassy Thanks Nepal for Katrina Donations

On behalf of the American people, the U.S. Embassy expresses heartfelt thanks to His Majesty's Government and to the citizens of Nepal for their response to the human suffering and devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in parts of the southern United States.

The Embassy particularly welcomes a $25,000 donation by the Nepali government and its initiative to set up an account at the Rastriya Banijiya Bank (RBB) for Nepalis to make contributions for hurricane relief efforts.  Such support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and the human concern this reflects, is an impressive display of international solidarity.  As Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said a few days ago about the outpouring of global assistance, "Every contribution is important." 

More information on the ongoing relief effort, including links to donor organizations, is available on the Embassy website athttp://nepal.usembassy.gov
