An Update on the Nepal Earthquake
Prayers and Funds Needed for Those Affected
More than 8,000 people have been reported dead in the massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Nepal on April 25. A second earthquake struck Nepal on May 12. Ligmincha International Board Chair Rob Patzig suggests how sangha and friends can offer prayers and financial support.
Dear Sangha and Friends,
Thank you to all who responded so compassionately to my initial letter regarding the plight of Nepalese in the wake of the first earthquake. I am pleased to share with you that through your generous donations we have collected more than $20,000 to help meet basic needs and help repair structures that were damaged by the earthquakes.
Update:
Tuesday May 12 saw another violent earthquake strike Nepal. The second quake has caused many buildings and homes, already weakened by the quake last month, to collapse. At least 65 people have died in this second quake and thousands have been injured. Please continue your prayers and practices in support of the many who are suffering in the aftermath of this disaster and for those who are working to provide aid. Ligmincha will continue accepting donations to benefit relief efforts in Nepal and the Bonpo communities there.
