Now!

Yes, the time to join hands is now!

We are in the middle of a natural catastrophe. One that has hit not close to home, but right in our homes.

The 7.8 magnitude of earthquake, the strongest in 80 years, the one that people have dreaded, and a fear that now is a reality.  More than 100 tremors have followed which taken upwards of 1,400 innocent lives.

A city: a historic place, home to 3% of all the nation’s population, dense, the most developed city, only entry to the world by air (only international airport in the country),  beautiful, mesmerizing, ….. now grieving, trying to assess what is left, trying to understand how much is lost,……..

Still feeling the tremors………….

As our beloved ones are living it, we are feeling it, … almost helpless …

We are reaching out, we are staying informed, we are trying to stay strong, and we are trying to help out and seek help to get the relief in the best possible way we can.

We need to heal hearts, mend lives, build our cities, be better prepared, …..

There are many things that we need to do.

 At the moment, we need to gather our financial resources as much as we can, reach out as farther as we can.

There are resources coming in from many places and we need to support these efforts.

Here is how you can help:http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/25/world/nepal-earthquake-how-to-help/index.html.
