Relief Distribution to the earthquake victims from Pak-khola, Malta-4, Lalitpur                                              

- Bina Bantawa

As I decided to visit the earthquake affected areas before we bring the relief materials to the victims amidst and government's decision of one-way supply chain through its channel (one window policy), the criticism of government's failure in effective service delivery, and the reports of trucks full of supplies being looted, I was accompanied by Amit Tamang, Binod Ghimire, Laxman Poudel and Dipendra Bhatta to hunt a place where some sorts of relief materials were needed. So, we happened to reach Pakkhola in Lalitpur district though we headed for Le-le first. I emphasised to go to Pak-khola because it was away from road. It took about 2 hours for us to reach the spot (on foot) from Tinpane Bhanjyang. All houses were badly damaged and a primary school too. The village even lost a member!! We were informed that a sack of rice for each household was distributed earlier. Nothing after that !! So, we decided to support them. So, we noted down cell-phone numbers of a few villagers. In a rush time, we managed everything here in Kathmandu. After 2 days, on 8th May 2015, we finally distributed 32 sacks of rice, salt and some clothes too. I feel very happy for the helping hands of Kamal Moktan, Sunil Thokar, Binod Ghimire, Laxman Poudel, Moa Thapa and Subash Subedi !!!  Not only we distributed, we did walk up, spent about 9 hours and have found some clusters where we will bring rice and other material, may be on Sunday................. very soon. I must say sorry to Kamal Moktan that he unfortunately had strain in his right leg and he had to suffer a lot on the difficult hills.

Relief Package (drinking water) to earthquake victims (Ktm)

As Nepal reels after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck last Saturday, and with aid only now starting to reach some isolated areas, the full scale of the devastation still remains unknown. The death toll reached 6,260 on Friday.

LET US DO WHAT EVEN AN INDIVIDUAL CAN DO

Distribution of processed drinking water to the earthquake victims of Sitapaila and Gongabu areas including Asan and Basantpur areas was done today i.e. on 1st May with the collective efforts of a few people.

400 boxes of water that make up 4800 bottles of (Ashirwad) water produced by Jalapa Jal Udhyog at Itahari were brought to Kathmandu by Bindiya Limbu, Asha Rai, Roma Rai and their Philippine friends (from Hong Kong). 

             Thanks to:

             Miteri Na5Kha752

For distribution, contribution of Amit Tamang, Sugat Manandhar, Binod Ghimire, Laxman Poudyal, Dipendra Bhatta and Dhiraj Poudyal are highly appreciable and the co-ordination and execution of the campaign by Ms Bina Bantawa is  inseparably commendable.

A Mathematical Problem!!

A streamer can travel 1260 km in 45 days. If its speed is reduced by 1/7, how far will it travel in 25 days?

This question has raised confusion among the Maths teachers. I am seeking the way of its solution with the explanation.

HELP Jeet Bahadur Chepang

"Is the rich world aware of how four billion of the six billion live? If we were aware, we would want to help out; we'd want to get involved." Bill Gates

We are posting this to notify you a plight of a poor Chepang who has continuously been suffering (from enterocutaneous fistula we guess) for about 4 years. Mr. Jeet Bahadur Chepang, a resident of Kaule VDC ward no. 6 Chitwan had an operation at the Medical College in Bharatpur after 5/6 days of severe stomach ache.  Indeed, he had problem of appendicitis! We hope you can measure the distance and hardship to go from Hugdi to Kaule!! He was indebted at that time. God knows what causes?? Since then the contents leak through to the skin. In the language of medical, it may be called abdominal fistulas which refer to abnormal openings that allow the contents of the stomach or bowels to leak.

We came to know about this 2/3 months ago when we visited Kaule in course of the research process for MA. We determined that we’d do what we could do to save his life. From BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, we were assured that he would freely be treated there. But the College of Medical Sciences at Bharatpur, which treated the Chepang earlier, is suggested to be the best one to treat him. So, he is brought to the COMS in Chitwan. He is now admitted at the hospital. Due to malnutrition, he is under observation!!  Very recently, he is found to be suffering from tuberculosis! Whether operation to be done will be confirmed within a week we evaluate. We could not meet Dr Nataraj!!! For the moment, bed fees and some tests have been made free of charge. We have deposited NRs 7,000 at the hospital pharmacy!! The in-charge first insisted to sign an agreement letter made by the police officer stationed at the hospital to ensure that we will pay the bill of medicines bought in credit!! However, we were successful not to sign that sort of letter, and deposited the money.

We expect all of us do help HIM whatever we can do. Somehow, the issue has been raised now. Some money that we have has also been used. We hope all of us will do what we can afford for this poor CHEPANG, who wants to be alive and pay the debt!! We also expect Dr Nataraj will provide all the services free of cost at the hospital including the charges of medicines.
