http://www.theguardian.com/com... I am starting to see this article shared a lot in facebook. I might some emotional issues, but I disagree with the article...I think the writer should have  titled the  article saying " And if you do decide to go ... Please look at the resources " (which should have been the main focus of the article). How many "well-trained" first aid responder are there in Nepal? Also, does the writer have any idea of the percentage of young people residing outside of Nepal? How many medics/people (from international support) are going to help Nepal? 100,200 or 1000? that's not enough!!!!!! It has been almost 3 days and there are people inside the valley who haven't seen any rescue workers (don't ask about the remote areas). We can see from previous examples of natural disaster, where money/funds get lost within transactions. Some of her/his points might be valid. The Writer might have the impression that thousands of Nepali (residing outside) would be going. Let's be real. I don't think so!! So, those of who can/afford to go to Nepal. They should go but with proper RESOURCES and PLANNING. I think even moving a brick would be worth it!! At least, they have the mentality of helping!! Last edited: 27-Apr-15 11:52 AM

i think my ticket money would help more.. yesterday i was all excited to go there and even doing basic things like handing water bottle.. but this article is right, they need experts.. not morons like me who spent years in the USA and did not earn anthing that would come handy to my country. for my country it already has lots of by standers, i would do what i can, send money but where is the money going so far.. really? i haven't seen any food , blankets etc distributed pics so far...

डाक्टर हुनु त गोबिन्द केसी जस्तो. कसैको मुख नाटकी आफै झोला बोकी जहाँ जहाँ बिरामी छन् तेही पुग्ने | हाम्रो देशको गाउ घरमा बिदेसी खैरे डाक्टरहरु जिन्दाबाद |
