The First Metal Sheeting Trucks
The First Metal Sheeting Trucks

Our first two truckloads of metal sheeting arrived in Jethal, VDC, Sindhupalchowk. Through village consensus it was determined that Wards 4 and 5 were the most needy and distribution began immediately after our load was deposited at Silunga depot. IMG_0226IMG_0230IMG_0239

Krishna helps secure new metal sheeting, Padam takes a break.  Villagers constructed frames await arrival of metal sheeting.

We will finish providing sheeting in this area over the next 10 days or so.  When we are finished, we will have provided adequate sheltering for 700 families displaced by the earthquake.
