The need is so great that you could give up before we start.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac1 million emergency generously given by the Irish government has all been allocated.\u00a0Irish Aid<\/a> is also arranging airlifts of emergency relief items such as tents, blankets, and tarpaulins to assist an estimated 12,000 vulnerable people and meet their immediate acute needs.\u00a0 Over 63 tonnes of Irish stocks are being distributed by aid partners in the Kathmandu-Makwanpur area, focusing on those most severely affected, and those living in temporary settlements or in the open air since their homes were destroyed.<\/p>\n

In Nepal people are ranging from being joyful and thankful for being spared, to angry and desperate because no aid has come.\u00a0At least the tremors have passed, and normal life is beginning to be restored for the fortunate.\u00a0However many are still facing living in the open with little food or shelter.<\/p>\n

Should we despair at the huge need? No, why not? Well just as you are important to your family and friends so too are those suffering in Nepal important. They are worth helping.<\/p>\n

Help us to help Nepal, one person at a time, one family at a time and one village at time.<\/p>\n

It will cost approximately \u20ac50 to help a family with blankets, clothes and food.<\/p>\n

If you would like to contribute towards the relief operation that will provide food, tents and medicine please make a donation on our website at:\u00a0http:\/\/nlt.ie\/?page_id=423<\/a>\u00a0and state\u00a0Earthquake relief for Sindhuli district<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0in the comment option.<\/p>\n

We have raised over \u20ac1,000 in Ireland in the last couple of days, help us to increase that.<\/p>\n

The cost of the relief for the Sindhuli region is budgeted at\u00a0$131,660.<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n
