This posting is a request for help – plain and simple. In the last year or so we have been fortunate enough to receive significant donations of books, toys and children’s clothes. I particularly want to thank Randwick City Library Service and MLC School as they have both given us so many fantastic resources for use in Nepal.
But here’s the catch, transporting things to Nepal is extremely expensive! We have recently been given 100kgs of free air cargo by DHL and this was very helpful but we still have 27(!) boxes sitting in our storage shed waiting to go to Kathmandu. One of the challenges in sending things to Nepal is that it must go by air. If we ship the boxes they arrive in Calcutta in India and then travel by truck the rest of the way. As you can imagine, there isn’t much if anything left of the cargo by the time it arrives in Kathmandu!
We have had some success with various Rotary Clubs contributing funds for shipment of goods and we are hoping that perhaps some of you may have similar contacts and/or ideas for ways to help. It is a shame to see so many great resources sitting Sydney and we will get them to Nepal one way or another but hopefully with your help it can be sooner rather than later.
If you think you can help us to put these resources in the hands of the children of Nepal, please get in touch. We have some simple resources such as letters or Powerpoint presentations that we can send you to use too.
