Post earthquake reconstruction in Nepal

TT is grateful to Surya Lama in Nepal and his teams for remaining committed to helping the villagers still homeless after the earthquakes of April and May 2015.

Nine more families last week moved in to new homes, built with  support from TT’s donors, and according to the Nepal government’s earthquake building code.  The villagers also require the Nepal Government’s subsidy for reconstruction.

These families were recipients of the village toilet program run from 2007 under the leadership of Paul Pholeros. TT will ensure all remaining poor villagers – 12 more families –  receive assistance to rebuild their homes and their lives.  Our target is to have them rehoused by March 2020.

Donations gratefully received and can be made at the Rotary donations page.

Fading eastern light over western NSW plains on re-entry to Sydney.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.

Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.

It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.

Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
