Dear friends,
Govinda and his family extend their warm greetings and a sincere thank you for your generosity in helping them after the Nepal earthquake. Losing farm buildings used in their training program and their livelihood was one thing, but losing their home was perhaps their biggest challenge. With a baby, the loss of their home became even more of an impetus to get back on their feet and start again.
On top of the obvious challenges Nepal, during this time, has dealt with huge shortages in supplies. They import 100% of their fuel and are now only getting10% of their fuel needs. This affects building costs and accessing supplies. While they can use some local materials, this time they wanted to have an earthquake-safe building structure to ensure their safety and the safety of their child. The fear and shock of going through an earthquake is something that stayed with them and for them the past cannot be repeated.
Their determination and resillency has helped them to move forward and to begin building, however slow the process. We promise photos as the buildings take shape again.
Donations are still appreciated since the costs have been more than anticapted.
Thank you,
Shana Greene
