Monsoons and Mosquitos
26 May 2015
Our team, with support from this fundraiser, have been working to source and purchase large mosquito nets to take care of newly homeless families that can't afford to care for themselves during monsoon season. These families are sleeping outside and are truly living in the elements now that their homes are gone, and with that comes the very real risk of sickness. Among other things, the thick fog of mosquitos that descends on rural mountainous areas threatens their lives. However, thankfully we are able to help in a meaningful way by providing these nets. I cant stress enough just how much this means to those directly effected but also how much more we both NEED to do and CAN do using this platform. The nets will be distributed in rural Sindhupalchok and Lalitpur by Hari Bhusal, Prakash Ojha and Rick Chong through CASD Nepal and i will post an update with photos when we can confirm they have reached the targeted families.
As well as coming up with ideas and executing our own relief projects, our team has been facilitating small projects on behalf of other organisations to help speed up the overall relief effort. They have barely stopped for a breath and we have many projects in progress now that i look forward to sharing with you all. CASD have put together a curriculum for both schooling and trauma treatment for children in rural areas with the help of war trauma councillors in country to tackle the effects of PTSD. This curriculum will be available on specialised computers which our trained volunteers will use as a 'mobile school' to help those areas that need it most. I will elaborate on this project very soon
Please, if you still feel something, do whatever you can to help. Whether that be telling friends, sharing the page, donating here or elsewhere, or anything else you can think of. Those of us in a position to help have a responsibility to do so and I thank you so much for empowering us to do just that. Let's keep it up
