"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 soon.
