Natural Disasters in South Asia

Wherever there is a human being, there is a chance for a kindness.
Seneca

World Forum Global Leader Dhirendra Lamsal from Nepal sent this appeal to the World Forum Foundation:

“The South Asian countries are facing a lot of hardships and suffering from heavy floods and landslides. According to a local media source, about 16,000 families have been badly affected by this in a week. The government of Nepal, International Organizations, Red Cross, and local corporations are helping, but it is not adequate and there are so many other things needed. Therefore, I appeal to all our Global Leaders to think and act upon how we can be of best assistance, specifically for the young children — including their families — in this situation.

“Let me inform you that Ms. Roslyn Duffy, who has been regularly supporting the dependent children of prisoners with donations of quilts in Nepal, will be helping the young children affected by the floods and landslides by donating quilts. It is a great help!

“We would appreciate if you provide information regarding handling the post-flood and landslide situation. The other technical ideas, management systems, and commodity support like water, food, medicines, and clothes will help us to help the children and their families. This situation has to be managed by the Nepali citizens including the Government of Nepal, but it is going beyond our internal capacity, so I am writing this on behalf of the young children.

"Thank you."
