In June alone, volunteers donated school supplies and calculators to students at Mahewsori tent area; held a 2nd volunteer training session, attended by 62 Nepali volunteers; gave first-aid kits to Seabird International College and 4 other schools; assessed the damage in Bungamati and Kokana; worked with Global Medic to distribute 80 water purifiers in Kadambas; started a 2nd round of large-scale supply distribution with the handing out of blankets to 1,335 families in Bungamati; and donated folding beds, blankets and medical materials to the Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital.

Tzu Chi’s relief activities in Nepal are also starting to transition towards reconstruction efforts, and a team is building simple classrooms at the Norvic Institute of Technology in Lalitpur.

Meanwhile, Medical Outreach volunteers continue to visit tent settlements, remote mountain areas, hospitals, schools and Buddhist temples, and treat new cases, check up on previous patients, and address issues like head lice. There’s a lot to do, and Tzu Chi is there for the long haul.

Let’s bring love and compassion to Nepal!
