Dear Haters,

You can purchase "repatriation" insurance with health insurance as well.  Universities force you to buy this insurance in order to assist in a situation like this.  If the departed Soul had repatriation insurance, his body would have been in Nepal by now.  I know it's insensitive to talk about these things at this time, but don't you think it's one of the most crucial elements?  In undergrad,  I used to pay $35/month for health insurance that included repatriation.  Spend few dollars in life insurance.  Frankly, community colleges don't care.  If you go and let the college know that an international student has left the world, what would they do?  Nothing!  They will simply ask "Did he have insurance"?

If insurance is expensive, I would recommend setting up a fund where EVERY international student is forced to donate $1/month.  If a situation like this arises, we would not have to raise fund.  I appreciate we all Nepalese coming together in a situation like this.

By the way, before I read all the hate messages directed towards me, I prayed for this departed soul.  May he rest in peace.
