Tents for Mina and her neighbours

Mina Satyal ran the Nepalese orphanage my sponsor child Ganesh was raised in from the age of 9. She is an extremely caring and kind hearted woman who has given her life to protecting those most in need.

Now - after the quakes - her home is unsafe to enter and her family are living outside under a sheet of plastic to keep the rain off. There is no electricity so everything is being cooked over a fire and lighting is by candles.

I spoke to Mina and asked her how I could help. She talked about the people in her neighbourhood, saying she was distraught to see them in such pain from loss and fear - that her wish was to take care of them and at least provide them a way to get out of the rain. Not surprisingly, she had no thought of herself except for the sadness she felt for others.

It's time to take care of Mina! $270 buys a tent sufficiently large for Mina's family to live in. $20 buys a floor mat for that tent. Mina is currently finding out the cost of a lamp to remove the risk of candles burning the tent. My hope is to provide enough money for Mina to get her own family dry and warm as well as 3 of her neighbours families.

I will ensure 100% of the money lands directly with the people who need it, and I will happily share photo's with anyone who wants to see how their money made a difference. :)
