Plea for HELP FOR NEPAL


Here is a letter from an architect member of ARCASIA.

Dear Arcasia friends,

As some of you may remember me, I am from Nepal and I'm sure you all have read the news about the terrible situation in my hometown right now. We have been hit by the worst earthquake in 80 years and the devastation is beyond anything you can imagine. I am writing today to urge you to please help us in any way that you can. My family have set up a fund raising page where you can donate any thing that you are able to and the money will go directly to help rebuild, feed and care for the thousands who are left homeless and on the streets of Kathmandu and beyond.

Please find it in yourself to help me in this very desperate situation, we need every help we can get.

I know there are a lot of charities like Oxfam doing their bit, I don't know how long their funds will take to reach the right places, so I would please urge you to donate to these pages started by locals in Nepal so the money can go straight to the people on the streets who need it most and It will all be used to provide blankets, shelters, water and food and mainly for caring for children who have unfortunately lost their parents their homes and everything.

Please help spread the word and donate in any way that you can, it will save lives.

AS PER ADVISE OF ARCASIA, ALL DONATIONS CAN BE COURSED THRU MEMBER INSTITUTES LIKE UAP AND SEND DIRECT TO SONA (SOCIETY OF NEPALESE ARCHITECTS). IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE PRESIDENT OF SONA GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF BAGUIO.

DONATIONS CAN NOW BE SENT TO UAP THRU THE UAP EMERGENCY ARCHITECTS.
