Seeking funds for Nepal

 

 

 

Stop Hunger Now, the program in which our club participated earlier this year has sent an email around to volunteers who participated in the event.  They are soliciting funds to support emergency food for the people of Nepal who have suffered so much recently due to the earthquakes and landslides.  Here are their words:

 

"The people of Nepal are still reeling in the wake of last weekend's 7.9 magnitude earthquake. With crops destroyed and infrastructure in ruins, the aid that is slowly trickling in is not enough to get the debilitated communities back on their feet.

More must be done.

Through our local Nepalese and Indian partners, we aim to provide 1.2 million meals and other aid to restore the health & hope of those in need. But we can only accomplish this with your support. Help us be there for the survivors as they begin the difficult process of healing & rebuilding."

 

Given our prior association with the Stop Hunger Now program, club members may want to donate funds toward this effort, either through the club or individually.  The news has certainly documented the need of a country that has suffered so much in recent days.  It is possible that the 10,000 meals we recently produced are on their way to Nepal already.
