Dear Huyen,

ere are no words to express my gratitude for your continued support of our relief and recovery efforts in Nepal. Thank you so much for your incredible generosity as we continue to rebuild from the devastation of not one, but two major earthquakes.

Much has happened in the first month since the earthquake occurred. I’ve included below some links to provide you with an update on the work we’ve been doing, a brief slideshow with images from Nepal, and an interview with one of our disaster specialists who deployed a few days after the earthquake took place.

We could not do any of this work without the support of our donors like you.  The generosity of the American public has been overwhelming, raising over $25 million to support relief efforts in Nepal. These funds are being used to provide earthquake survivors with essential relief supplies, such as water containers, tarps and kitchen sets and will continue to be distributed as future needs are determined.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve assist our efforts in Nepal,
Nell

Dear Benefactors,

On behalf of the victims in peril by the earthquake in Nepal, Tu Bi Foundation would like to express our sincere appreciation to our teachers and benefactors for their contributions to “Nepal Earthquake Relief”. We have 1 more week before fundraising end. The money raised will be sent to the American Red Cross (International). Just when lives have not stabilized, 3 weeks later Nepal suffers a second earthquake, a 7.3 magnitude on 05.12.2015. To date over 8,200 people have died … I remember the earthquake and tsunami that happened to Japan in 2011. Tu Bi Foundation was grace with the opportunity to visit the refugee camp and live there for a few days, everyday there were after shock.

Currently in Nepal, hundreds of thousands of families are living in makeshift camps not knowing what will happen in the future, because Nepal was constantly experiencing shock the day after. Hunger, disease, homelessness … people are suffering endlessly!

So far, Tu Bi Foundation has sent $11,000 to the Red Cross, the total amount will be calculated on 05/20/2015. Fortunately, the money we raise will be match by the Red Cross 100%. This morning we received news from Red Cross of the current situation and that the money sent be distributed for tents to cover from the rain and sun, food, water … help victims settle into a centralize camps.

Tu Bi Foundation in Houston has donated $15,000. In Virginia, many supporters have promise to help and Tu Bi is waiting to receive their checks. The money we will raise is $ 5,851. We predict the total donation raise will be approximately $21,000 + Red Cross matching 100%, the final total will be $42,000.  Thanks to the contributions of our benefactors, hundreds of families will be comforted and care for …

Please sincerely pray for Nepal quick recovery, their lives stabilized, receive assistance from people all over the world, and the world will send material assistance as well as direct help to the people. (According to the News, all the parcels sent were subject to government review, while the people are hungry the supplies are stuck in one area. This is a form taking supply distributions from the people). So each of us need to remember to acquire merit in order to receive help from those around us.

We pray for peace to world and all living beings. Please burn incense and direct your prayer for the deceased and rebirth to a peaceful world. That the family and relatives of the deceased will have energy to overcome this difficulty.

We’re grateful for you.

Dear Huyen, On April 25, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake devastated Nepal, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes, injuring thousands of people and, heartbreakingly, killing more than 8,000 people. Moments after news of the disaster spread, you and thousands of other selfless members of the global Red Cross community came together to support those in need in Nepal. Thank you, for being there. With Tuesday’s 7.3 magnitude earthquake and ongoing aftershocks, your commitment continues to make it possible for the Red Cross to conduct critical assessments, coordinate response efforts and reconnect families separated by the earthquake. Thanks to your generosity, relief efforts are well underway. There are 24 Red Cross societies currently on the ground in Nepal, and we’re working closely together to get supplies distributed – including fresh water, tents, tarps, food, latrines, satellite communications, and more. In addition to working with our global Red Cross partners, the American Red Cross has committed $5 million in funds to ongoing relief work, we deployed close to a dozen disaster specialists, and we provided essential supplies to support the response. We’re currently developing preliminary plans with the Nepal Red Cross to do long term recovery and are targeting entire villages to help rebuild.  I just returned from a sobering visit to Nepal. The destruction is far reaching, and many of the areas that have been impacted are so very remote. We had to hike over hilly terrain to get a sense of the damage, and several of the areas we saw were totally flattened. It will take a great deal of time and resources for communities to recover. But the people I met also displayed amazing resilience as they were helping their neighbors heal and begin to recover. While I am still incredibly saddened when I think of the lives lost, the homes and schools that have been destroyed, and the communities that have been forever altered – I am encouraged by the tremendous work of the global Red Cross network and our partners in the ongoing response operation. I am truly humbled by the strength and resiliency of the Nepalese people, and the compassionate support of donors like you. With gratitude, Gail McGovern, President and CEO American Red Cross
