***LATEST UPDATES*** The following is the combined list of donors from ADHRN and - www.samudaya.org as of 4:00 pm, Wednesday, April 19, 2006. Total raised: US $4906.00 from 120 donors. You can also view the complete list of donors at: - www.alliancenepal.org Due to the US law constraints of transferring funds to a registered non-profit in Nepal, and the suspension of banking operations there, we are still in the process of finalizing the beneficiaries and the channel of funds transfer. We will be updating you regarding this right here [at the Alliance's wensite] as they become concrete. So far, we have received two individual requests for assistance in serious injuries – one of a child with a rubber bullet lodged in his neck, being treated at Kanti Children’s hospital; and the other of a young man with bullet injuries to his head. The latter is being treated at Bir Hospital’s neurological ward. The first request was made by Social Action Volunteers (SAV), run by Nepal Jesuits, who have been providing regular volunteer service at Kanti Children’s Hospital. For this, we are waiting for a complete detail of the injury and the amount sought so that we can send a check to the Jesuit Society of New England, who will then deposit the funds in Nepal Jesuit’s account. Jana Andolan (People’s Movement) First Aid Treatment Fund will likely be the biggest beneficiary of the funds raised by us. Since they are also just a Trust Fund (and not a registered non-profit), we are working closely with ADHRN, Nepal Chapter to formulate a channel through which they can receive the funds. JAFATF has so far been at the forefront of raising funds for, and providing those funds to, the injured during the ongoing political uprising. They have assured us that they will disperse the funds to hospitals outside of the Kathmandu as well -- they have already established contacts with hospitals in Biratnagar, Chitwan, Pokhara and Nepalgunj. Their web address is: - www.loktantrahrf.org Good news! American doctor/volunteer, Dr. Brian Cobb, who was recently physically and verbally abused and forced to leave Nepal by the authorities, is returning to Nepal soon! He hopes to be back in the business of running a contingent of a few dozens medical student volunteers providing on-sight emergency medical treatment to the injured. He was, and is again now, in our list of possible beneficiaries. We thank you all for your donations, and we trust that you will continue to support us in this noble cause.
