The catastrophic earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April, and the subsequent earthquake on 12 May, resulted in a massive loss of life and destroyed much property. In the initial weeks following the earthquakes, the funds raised through this appeal, were directed to purchasing and delivering food packages, tarpaulins, corrugated galvanised sheets and blankets to mountain communities in need. Many of these communities are home to World Expeditions porters. As Nepal moved into the reconstruction phase, funds were directed to the efforts to re-establish schools in the mountains, namely: 1. Construction of four classrooms at Manju Shree Primary School in the Solukhumbu 2. Constructon of the main office building at Kshamawatu Secondary School in the Dolakha district 3. Construction of three classrooms at Shree Setibhume Secondary School in the Rasuwa district We are currently raising funds to build three classrooms for Shree Manjushree Secondary School in the Gorkha district, we require AUD$39,300 for the construction.
