"Disaster knows no borders ... neither should humanity"
Oct 8th – A devastating earthquake strikes
South Asia leaving
at least 90,000 dead, and 3-4 million homeless.
TODAY - One month after the earthquake, many survivors in
remote areas are still in need of immediate relief and rehabilitation. A brutal
Himalayan winter is approaching, a massive second wave of death is expected
if help – shelter, supplies, medicine – doesn't reach survivors
