glassgowkiss Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Could we start some form of donation gathering through CC.com for the earthquake victims in Nepal? The scope of devastation is pretty grim, and the monsoon season is approaching fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The best thing people can do is donate directly to any well established organization. From my research the two below are probably the best ones, but if anybody knows of a better one please post. http://www.ifrc.org/en/news-and-media/news-stories/asia-pacific/nepal/earthquake-in-nepal-68486/ https://www.unicefusa.org/donate/nepal-earthquake-help-children-now/24226?ms=ref_dig_2015_web_homepage_20150425_hphero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassgowkiss Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 My friend recommended this: http://www.gofundme.com/t2t99hkg Seth recommendation is rock solid. He guided in Nepal on several occasions, he knows people there and from there, he is a personal friend and I trust his judgement. NGO's, like any other institution have overhead. Provided link will be used 100% for relief. What people need is cash: to start rebuilding process, to buy immediate supplies and to cover medical costs.
