We are very happy to report that all of the children, our staff, and the girls of the She Has Hope rehabilitation home are safe after the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal over the weekend. However, critically scarce supplies are needed for our team, the children, and also for relief outreach to neighbors who were not so fortunate. Tomorrow our Executive Director, Kirby Trapolino, is scheduled to board a plane to Kathmandu with a friend who will help carry desperately needed supplies to our team there.
Infrastructure in the city has come to a halt, and the crisis worsens as normal food supplies dwindle — all roads into the capital, already notoriously treacherous, have been cut off for the most part. Vegetable markets are totally empty. Drinking water continues to be scarce. Hospitals are overwhelmed, as Nepal has only 2.1 physicians and 50 hospital beds for every 10,000 people. Aftershocks continue to happen even today, some registering over 6 on the Richter scale, sending people fleeing the city into the plains. Our children, girls, Nepal team and their neighbors are in desperate need of water purification tablets, portable solar power, and high protein food, and with the situation deteriorating it seems as though the suitcases full of food and supplies our director is bringing may indeed be a lifeline for our children and the girls at She Has Hope.
