36 packages

1. Saroj Neupane came back from his village in Dolakha. We handed him Rs 120,000. He made 36 packages of Rs 1,800 each, comprising one 30 kg sack of rice and one packet of salt. Another package was made comprising one 30 kg sack of rice, one packet of salt and a litre of cooking oil, costing Rs 2,000 each. These were distributed to 20 households.
2. A group of students went to Ombahal, Kathmandu to meet a survivor known to a Deerwalker, who had lost her home and members of her family.
3. Volunteers of DWSWN sorted and packed the clean wearable clothes. They plan to leave for Kavre with a company called Edushala, whose members will be here at Deerwalk. We need to make sure they already have a particular place figured out.

RAM update

The RAM members Julie Peddicord, Saron Rynard, John Stauffer and Paul Maresca will be joining the group that left today for the work area assigned to them by the Government of Nepal. Everyone who enrolled for this mission was able to make it. By tomorrow evening the team of 15 RAM volunteers is expected to go full swing, leaving tentatively around 10:00 AM.

Plan for tomorrow

1. On the request of Meena Kusi, an employee of Deerwalk, we plan to distribute water purification material. We will probably hand over cash so that they can buy it from the nearest store.
2. There is a massive request for tents in and around Bungmati and Khokana. We do not have tents as such, but we may distribute the 100 tarpaulins to families there.
