Nepal…Hang On!!

The devastation caused by the earthquake in Nepal is such sad news. My heart goes out to each one of the lovely people of this gorgeous mountain country. Nepal, you are in my thoughts and prayers!

People, Let’s try and support the earthquake victims in any way we can. There has been a lot of devastation especially in the Kathmandu valley and surroundings. And even the avalanche at Everest Base Camp has caused lots of damage. Some of the places that I visited on my recent trip to Nepal are history. That has been the effect and magnitude of this earthquake. Nothing can stand in front of mother nature, but I am sure our support can offset the problems and speed the recovery.

After hearing about the news on TV and after checking the safety of all my friends there, I looked up some of my pictures from my Nepal trips and I was deeply affected when I found out that some of these places had become rubble.

I am not sure if some places can be returned to their original charm, but I am sure we can do our level best to put back the smiles on the faces of the friendly people of Nepal. Let’s do our best!
