COMMITTED volunteers Manaslu and Chris report on "the strength, the ability and determination" of the Thangpalkot villagers to pick their lives up and forge ahead in spite of the devastation caused by the recent earthquake.
We're COMMITED (to) bringing back the smiles on the faces of children of Thangpalkot and its neighbors! To that end, we have provided relief materials to the residents of Thangpalkot VDC and have begun the process of bringing the children back to school for educational activities.
Nixon Boumba describing lessons learnt from the Haiti earthquake in "How not to rebuild Nepal" recommends listening to local people, supporting local people and reaching the most vulnerable as the top three things to do. I agree.
Surely there are skilled and trustworthy local people and local organizations. We just need to identify them and support them, if we are to not become another Haiti!
