Help rebuild Nepal

Donation protected
I'm sure you all know about the two major earthquakes, and the many aftershocks that have crippled parts of Nepal (one of the poorest nations of the world).  http://www.alanarnette.com/blog/2015/05/13/update-on-latest-nepal-earthquakes/

Ruth Schink from Vienna, Pawan Sohi from California and myself--Wrena Dsouza from California, had made brilliant plans to trek to the Everest Base Camp this September.

When we heard, read and saw the devastation, it made us look harder at our egoistical goals. After much introspection and deliberation we realized how unique an opportunity we now have to help rebuild Nepal.

With your support, the money we raise here will be used
1. Buy essential relief supplies for people in remote villages
2. Hire porters from these affected villages to transport essentials to their fellow villagers 
3. Help in the rebuild effort of the Tengboche Monastery

We will be collaborating with Samir Patham, Sauraj Jhingan and other folks from Adventure-Pulse. They survived the avalanche that hit the Everest base camp. Instead of returning to safety, they stayed back at the camp to help evacuate other mountaineers--http://www.hindustantimes.com/earthquakeinnepal/after-miracle-survival-pune-mountaineers-help-with-rescue-efforts-in-quake-torn-nepal/article1-1342693.aspx 

Let us all together make a difference today. Even a little contribution of $20 will help hire a porter. For you, it's just giving up a few cups of your favorite Starbucks coffee, for him, a livelihood, a hope of a new beginning.

Thank you for your generosity.
Wrena, Ruth & Pawan

PS: Rest assured that all the money we raise through this campaingn is going to be used for helping the people of the Khumbu region and not used for any of the teams expenses for the trek.
