Tragedy Strikes Our Global Neighbors in Nepal, India and Bangladesh.

This morning a 7.9 earthquake struck Nepal, India and Bangladesh just a couple of months before I leave for this part of our world. This will, indeed, add a new perspective on my visit. The city of Kathmandu was hit especially hard. Many of its historic buildings were destroyed and the death toll is already in the thousands. Secretary of State, John Kerry has already ordered the release of one million dollars in humanitarian relief.  But, what can we do?  What should we do?  Is there some way we can bring something to show our support for the people of Nepal during this time? This is a time when we can demonstrate what our global citizenship means.

  1. I have been in communication with Jesse of GEEO. At this point we are not sure if we will be able to complete our trip as planned. The infrastructure in Nepal is poor and Jesse fears it may not be safe.
