13 February from 4pm to 7pm: film screenings followed by debates in Saint Cloud
A team of four people travelled to Rapcha to discuss reconstruction aid with the two associations and the people of Rapcha.
They were given a warm welcome.
On 22 November, in Givry , the lively rhythms of Ice Cream in solidarity with Nepal
film screenings followed by debates in Gimeaux (63).
Good quality tarpaulins have been transported to Rapcha and distributed to the villagers. All the families are now protected from the monsoon.
We were able to buy 120 good quality tarpaulins and have them transported, despite the difficulties caused by the poor state of the tracks and paths, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that all the families are sheltered from the monsoon.
The latest e-mail from Yadav (30 July) tells us that the dispensary is running smoothly and that we have purchased additional medicines with the money we had set aside.
It also seems that the damage to the terraces has been kept to a minimum (but we’ll have to wait for the monsoon to end) and the harvest is getting ready. They don’t seem to be worried about food.
Schools were badly damaged, with the one in the hamlet of Lop razed to the ground and the school being run under tarpaulins;
the roof of the dispensary was pierced by a large stone;
the bridge is intact, but its foundations are threatened by the collapse of the natural dam of Lake Imja at the foot of Island Peak.
