Nepal Flood Relief Update: Buckets of Love





Our volunteers in Biratnagar, Nepal have entered phase two of flood relief. In a very small hand-built home, there is nowhere to store objects to avoid being washed away by the flood waters.  Anything buoyant has floated away in the current, and anything absorbent has been saturated with filthy water.  Villagers have lost necessities like buckets and jugs for carrying water, plastic sandals, floor mattresses, and pots needed for cooking food. Our volunteers compiled buckets full of indispensable items including cleaning supplies to remove bacteria and mosquito nets to prevent malaria. These were distributed to pregnant, postnatal, and elderly women in several areas affected by the flood.
