Revision history [back]

As a charity working in 13 schools across 5 districts of Nepal we are struggling to cope with the devastating impact of the earthquake. Although I have just returned to the UK last week, we have a trustee on the ground and many of our team who are desperately trying to get emergency relief to some of our communities who have already run out of food. We cannot get in there fast enough - we have a 4X4pick up truck right now going between Kathmandu and Kavre district (Kushadevi village) but we have families children in Rasuwa who are completely alone without and decent shelter or food. The situation is totally unbelievable, we just cannot even get the cash into our teams hands even though we have raised £7000 in donations already. Please can you offer any advice you can as to how to deal with a situation like this? We are an education charity and have never been in this situation before.

We have been in touch with other charities all of whom have offered help but then haven't got back to us and it will soon be nightfall and again we are desperate for help. Let me know if there is anything else we or you can do, Thank you, Joey Owen
