<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><i>How do we rebuild? what will work? what its important? where do we start?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Last week was tough for the
team, heat, exhaustion and torrential rain hindered our efficiency. Not only
that but we are all struggling to come to terms with how to deal with the
enormity of the task at hand...we are not earthquake rescue experts...mostly just people trying to help. We are all learning by doing, by networking and by sharing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Providing the people with
food and medical needs was the easy part. Now we must start the huge task of
getting people shelter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Here is the information we
have collected so far from the Sikhra Besi Zone. We are working village by
village and this time around have taken food coupons to help with food distribution. We plan to distribute
food ration every 2 weeks to each household with VDC's(Village Development Committees) on a rotation pattern as
our transport load is 4 tonne.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">A Standard Ration to feed a
family of 5(Average) is:-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">15kg Rice<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Initially, with our first distribution most households also got Tarps, rope, medical aid and Pius (Water Purification) where needed on top of food rations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

to supplement like Maize Flour, Potatoes, Ghundruk(Dried Spinach), Milk and Eggs which they
are producing themselves).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><b>WHAT IS THE COST OF FOOD
SUPPORT.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Just for food it costs us
around USD$2000 per trip to the village, which includes 2 weeks supply of food, vehicle costs and local expenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">We estimate we need to make
5 trips a month which is a total cost of US$15,000 just to supply food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">If you are wondering
what your generous donations provide here is a break down of how little money it costs to supplement a family for two weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Total Outlay per household: US$17.50. So even a donations of US$20 will
feed a family for two weeks...</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">We estimate that we will
need to support the village with food for the next 6 months. We are working on
the hope that our supply will overtime decrease and their local production will
increase eventually returning the village back to its self sufficient state.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><b>REBUILDING COSTS.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Rebuilding is a huge task
and to be frank, something we can never afford on this extent. So how are we
helping? (Project Shelter commences from Today -11th May)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">- Providing Materials and
Manpower to create Semi Permanent Shelters sufficient for the coming monsoon and winter<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">- Helping to make the area
safe and to Salvage what we can use<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">- Advising and Assisting with the Construction of toilets and sanitation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">- Helping the villagers to
be aware of what monetary assistance the Government will give them and helping
them to apply for such funds(Villagers are very uneducated and the Government
is not being very forthcoming to rural areas...Money is there, we need to help
the villagers to get it).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">We also do plan to fund total rebuilding of the Schools in the area and extra things like proper toilets, Solar Energy and Environmental Sustainability making the village better and more efficient than before. To be able to do this we will need long term funding and the right connections and approvals from community groups, other aid organizations and of-course the Politicians of the area...Its a huge task...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
Last night we returned back to Kathmandu after our second visit to the
village of Sihkar Besi. After our initial assessment we were able to take a lot
more supplies this time and help a lot more people. But the story is still
grim. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
We hope this gives you more of an understanding of the work the NCRR team is
doing.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Our experience working with the Tamang People (The ethnic group in the
region) has been an overwhelming one. Although they have been profoundly
affected due to the earthquake they are such thoughtful and caring people. While
the NCRR team got to work the Tamang people did all they could to make us feel
at home with what little they had left. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The sheer spirit of these people is an inspiration to us to continue helping
them as much as we can, although their loss is overwhelming. It is very hard to
comprehend what we are seeing visually and we have only scratched the surface
in regard to how much aid these people need now and well into the future.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
To date NO Government aid or assistance of any kind has reached this area.
When we left yesterday a Bulldozer was at work clearing the debris caused by
numerous landslides off the road. We hope when we return we will be able to
drive straight to our base camp allowing us to be more efficient as currently
we have to walk for some time to reach it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Cyclist Roan Tamang, who was born in the region, is helping us coordinate
with village development committees so that we are able to target areas that
need it the most first and foremost. Without coordination from local committees
we would be inundated with desperate people trying to take supplies causing
utter chaos, making it practically impossible to assist. Now we can effectively
distribute supplies. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
During this aid operation we surveyed 9 villages in two VDC (Village Development Committee) zones. Our findings
indicate that at least 99% of the houses in the area have been destroyed.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THE FOLLOWING ISSUES</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Shelter -</b> 99% of the houses have been destroyed and are unsafe to
live in.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Food -</b> 80% of food supplies have been lost which will create a need
for food support in the area for at least 6 months. 30% of livestock was also
lost.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Medical -</b> A lot of people (including the elderly and young children)
who were in or around buildings have flesh wounds, with high risk of infection.
We need to get a medical person and the right antibiotics out there ASAP.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Access - </b>Road damage and landslides make it hard for us to reach the
problem areas.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Khet Damage - </b>A lot of the Khet (small plots of land used for growing
wheat, rice and potatoes) have been damaged, while okay at the moment they
will become very unstable in the approaching monsoon season.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>Man Power -</b> With most families still having to work in the field to
secure their food source, there is little man power left to clean and rebuild.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>The Harvest -</b> The Fields are full of wheat ready for immediate
harvest. The village man power is now focused on this urgent need to secure the
vital food source and get it safely in storage.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>WHAT IS OUR NEXT MOVE</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Now we have a better picture of what is needed. We are re-stocking our
supplies. We have secured two villages currently and will hit the third village
with supplies tomorrow.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
- Set up a base camp at the road head where we can keep a regular incoming
of supplies.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
- Get a doctor and medical supplies to base camp.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
- Establishing our Base Camp as a resource centre for surrounding villages
in need of aid and medical care alike. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
- This afternoon we will send forward a scout team to assess the area and
coordinate with the local people to prepare a name list ready for distribution
when we return.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
- Consult with building specialists so that we may educate the NCRR team in
building hygienic lavatories and general buildings correctly. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
We are so grateful for your support.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The
NCRR team have recently returned from their mission to Nuwakot, 100 kilometres
to the north of Kathmandu. Their objective was to reach the village of Shikhar
Besi, the birth home of one of Nepal's top cyclists, Buddhi Bahadhur Tamang, or
‘Roan’ to his friends. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">This
village, although only 100km away, took the riders 11 hours to reach due to
badly damaged roads and general chaos as a result of the earthquake. After
assessing the immediate damage the NCRR team noted 50 houses (almost 90%) of
the village was reduced to rubble and some 500 people had been displaced. Many including
the elderly and very young were in desperate need of food, shelter and medical
aid.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">NCRR
member, Santosh, identified some major problems upon reaching the area. The roads
were impassable due to the initial earthquake and heavy rains to follow.
The team was forced to carry approximately 800 kilograms of supplies just over
20 kilometres to reach the main village. With the assistance of some villagers,
team work prevailed and the aid items reached the village successfully.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Within
the village we assessed the water supply, it is currently okay but the
villagers have to walk some distance to get to it. The farming plots are
damaged quite severely and most of the food reserves have been spoiled. Seasonable
food stuffs such as maze are the only things left in storage undamaged. Some
families have lost their livestock also. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The
village school was also brought to the ground and there is no nearby medical facility
to Shikhar Besi. Those injured or in need of medical attention must walk approximately
four hours to reach it. The village is totally isolated from support.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">For
now this village has been temporarily stabilized thanks to the NCRR team. However,
this will be an ongoing project and we will need to continue funding this village,
and many others like it, as the need for medical aid and reconstruction support
continues for months, even years to come. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The
young NCRR team have displayed great team work and empathy amongst this major
disaster. We are very proud of them; we hope to keep supporting them, so that they
can keep up this great work.</span><br />

<br />
There are so many sad stories pouring in. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Our main team comprising of Ajay, Santosh and the riders are currently on their
way back from Nuwakot, so we will update you later this evening in regard.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Back in Kathmandu Valley today we rushed out to a nearby village that we use
as part of our cycling routes. We heard a local family there was in desperate need
of aid. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This particular family, among many others, is a farming family of four
generations. Their house collapsed in the earthquake disaster last Saturday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have not only suffered the loss of their home
but with it their entire livelihood, along with food stockpiles that would
typically see them through until the next harvest. They are now homeless as a
result. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
We were able to supply the family with food and much needed shelter. Our
hearts break for them and the many others affected by the disaster that are yet
to receive aid. We are doing all that we can to get to as many people as
possible and thank you for your help.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
We also wish to thank Arun Bhai and Rajan Dai for doing such a great job
today.<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">While our main team is in Nuwakot, today we have organized a small
team to help local families in need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Pictured below, in the yellow t-shirt, is Ram Tamang. This morning we got a phone call
from his sister who works for Paddle Nepal, a large rafting company, who are
doing huge things for earthquake relief. Ram’s sister was unable to get to
her brother and badly wanted to help him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">He lives with eight family members including small children. Not being a local to Bungamati the people there were not helping him. They had no
money, no food and were sleeping in a chicken shed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Ram is a Thangka artist; many businesses in Thamel have acquired his
art on credit only and are refusing to pay him now. Currently there is no
market for Thangka's but as soon as the next tourist season arrives in September
he will again be able to support himself and his family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This is one of the million heartbreaking stories happening right
now in Nepal...At least he and his family will be okay now for a few weeks as
NCRR have managed to give them some food and assistance today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
