As we receive reports from Biratnagar, Nepal, we continue to be amazed at the way the Nepalese people reach out to one another in times of crisis. The spirit of volunteerism seems to know no socio-economic or religious boundaries as our volunteers work endless hours providing emergency care to their flood-ravaged community. They hold daily "health camps" to pass out food, educate families regarding ways to avoid illness, and organize clean-up teams.
Forty children from the slum area around Biratnagar gathered to receive emergency aid in the form of dry food.
More than 90 volunteers from around the city gathered yesterday to assist the government in cleaning up dead animals and refuse left behind by the flood.
