Devious Journal Entry

Thank you for your kind thoughts my friends. Though I haven't posted for some time, I come to dA almost every day. I'm still here with you all. 

I can't write much just now concerning the tragedy in Nepal. My sorrow is deep and I'm doing all I can to help here, - as are so many people.

If you wish to know more about the situation on the ground here, I'm making posts daily on my Facebook page : www.facebook.com/profile.php?i…

The people of Nepal need assistance in any way you can give. There are so many people with urgent needs. The U.N. now estimates that over 8 million people are in need of aid. It's cold and wet here. People are homeless, injured, traumatised and grieving. They are cold, hungry, thirsty, in need of safe drinking water, often without toilet facilities or ways to stay clean. The threat of infectious diseases is high. People are on the ground, in the open, many with no blankets or shelter at all. There are children and pregnant woman and the elderly. It's heartbreaking to witness.

Nepali people are doing all they can to help save lives and they've done much in these first days. But the devastation covers an enormous area of mountainous Himalayan terrain and hundreds of thousands of people have had no assistance since the first earthquake last Saturday. They need help urgently.

I share posts on Facebook that are calls for urgently needed help, so that wherever you are you may see a way to help some of those who are in desperate need now.
