Your Donations Will Save Lives in Haiti

The devastation of the 7.0 magnitude Haiti earthquake on Tuesday, January 12th 2010, is still unfolding, and the devastation is immense. Cameras are unable to capture the full horror of the situation; it will take years of resolve from the entire world to rebuild Haiti. The Nepali community wants to stand firmly alongside the Haitian community in this tragic time of need.
Bay Area Nepali community organizers gathered in the aftermath of the tragedy on January 14th and set up an ad hoc committee with the simple mandate of coordinating fund raising activities among all Nepali organizations. Please read the excerpts from the meeting minutes for details. The organizers think that it will have a more meaningful impact to join hands as a unified community to provide help to the Haitian community. A decision was made to collect funds and send them to the NRN-National Coordination Council of America on behalf of the Bay Area Nepali community. The NRN-NCCA will disburse all of the funds collected from all Nepali organizations throughout the US to either the US Red Cross or the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, on behalf of Nepali community of US.
