Today's report is about the terrible earthquake that struck Nepal on 24 April 2015. You all will have seen and heard about it on the news. The devastation is unfathomable at this early stage, and we will surely not know about the full extent of the damage until many weeks or months have passed.
As you know, ETC works with school personnel and village residents in rural Nepal to make necessary improvements to schools. In the aftermath of the quake, the need will be much greater than ever. We hope that you will consider making a special gift to our Better Schools in Rural Nepal project to help in the rebuilding and reopening of Dolakha's schools.
The photo included with this report is a still frame from a video clip that I shot in February. This school building had been damaged by a much smaller quake in January. We can only imagine how bad the damage from the 24 April quake will be.
Thank you, as always, for your support - both of our regular work (to which we remain fully committed!) and to the relief and rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake of 24 April.
