No signing from my side too..

US aid usually goes through usaid, which has very high overhead, consulting etc cost. If they say 100 mil, probably we will get 10 mil in ground. And that also goes through all the freaking INGO/ngo/govt politics. Not worth begging.

If they give directly to PM fund also, foreign aid just make us week. Nepal don't lack resources to sustain this. Villagers can easily manage to make their temp house will little govt assistance, they will need little food to keep them going till next agri season and they will be able to stand back again and bounce back. We need strong leader who can get things done and loves country, not freaking phd or idealistic who gets nothing done, and we can't get that in aid.
