HELP IS NEEDED IN NEPAL
On the 25th of April 2015 through May 12th a catastrophic earthquake hit Nepal. It measured 7.6 on the Richter scale followed by a series of aftershocks including a 6.8 magnitude on April 26th and a 7.5 magnitude on May 12th.
 
Statistics give us factual information on structural damage such as  that 2,688 Government houses were destroyed, 3776 partially damaged, 602591 private homes and 32145 classrooms.
That was the tip of the iceberg. 8959 people lost their lives and 22,322 people injured.
What has happened to all of these survivors? Since the earthquake most of them have been living in tents for the last 8 months. The weather at the moment is severe Many of the tents are in tatters and the population is suffering from lack of shelter, food and clean water.
It is now winter with rain, snow and winds whipping down from the Himalayas.
