Bright spots
These are difficult times for Nepal, and especially for the Nepalese. The tsunami disaster has damaged, swept away, and/or destroyed so much: people, homes, businesses, schools, villages, infrastructure… more than a week later, the human suffering and all forms of damage are still barely comprehensible. Amidst all the misery, one could almost forget that beautiful things are still happening; survivors are still being found (https://nos.nl/l/2629604). People who were reported missing without knowing it are being found. Or the school principal who, through decisive action, was able to bring all his students and staff to safety in time (https://nos.nl/l/2629162). That gives hope these days.
That is exactly what we at 4 Smiling Faces do for the children and the people around them whom we have been supporting in Nepal for years. With some help from us, they get so much further, now more than ever. For although they fortunately live outside the disaster area, they certainly feel the consequences of it. Food shortages are increasing, prices are rising, and people are losing their jobs because roads leading to the disaster area are closed. 4 Smiling Faces wants to stand alongside them and help, even now. Will you help us help them?
