My good friend and partner in our Nepal earthquake aid work, Saguna and her team of volunteers visited Banepa yesterday. They viewed two schools where marginalized children live and study. The structures have been irreparably damaged and the children need temporary shelters. One school has a temporary shelter already, however requires white boards, flooring and tables for the kids. There are also eight houses in the community, of which two have temporary roof shelters. The cost for one temporary roof is around 10,000 Nepal rupee or roughly $100 USD. Saguna will be visiting more areas in the coming days, after which we will purchase the aid materials and help rebuild these communities. One area of caution is for a foreigner to travel for scouting missions because the unfortunate situation is that some will try to take advantage and we want to create the largest impact possible which means I will not be accompanying. Once we begin the aid work I will join the team in travelling to the villages. I look forward to bringing you all more updates in the coming days.
