Please Help 8 Soka Students' In-Field Relief Efforts in Nepal! (We are covering our own expenses!)

Great news, Microsemi Corporation, Aliso Viejo is matching funds with howmuchever we raise upto $25000. Please help us reach our goal.

Introduction:
Hello everone, I am Prakash Bista, currently a sophomore at Soka University of America. I am also the Founder/Director at Modern Model Residential School in Kalikot Nepal. Few weeks back, 4 students at Soka decided to go to our schools in Nepal to volunteer in summer. After the recent eathquake, we thought we, including 4 other Soka students would help in disaster relief for two weeks before going to volunteer in our schools in Kalikot, Nepal.

Earthquake Context:

On April 25, 2015, a deadly earthquake of 7.9 Richter Scale struck Nepal destroying major cultural heritages in the capital cities and taking lives of thousands of people. Almost 4000 deaths have been reported so far and thousands of people have been injured. In Lamjung and Gorkha, entire villages have been destroyed.


Children have been mostly affected. According to UNICEF, a million children have been severely affected. Children and families have been living in open space for days. 

Students:
1. Vicki Mokuria (Graduate Student)
2. Hiromi Narita (Second Year Student)
3. Kaito Morita (First Year Student)
4. Prakash Bista (Second Year Student)
5. Paresh Khetan (Second Year Student)
6. Mahesh Kushwaha (Incoming First Year Student)
7. Prasun Shrestha (Incoming First Year Student)
8. Samikshya Bhusal (Incoming First Year Student)

We will co-ordinate with reliable organizations (we are trying to contact UNICEF and Save the Children) or government to help in field work. We will spend most of the funds in immediate relief efforts-like tents, food, clothes, medicine etc. and a part of it will be used to repair schools and infrastructure damaged during the earthquake. We will let you know how best can we use the funds for the victims, after we decide the organization we will be coordinating with. We promise to be totally transparent with every penny we raise.

Please support howmuchever you can! Nepal needs your support at this moment!
