<p class=""><span class="">Dear Baypiggies,</span></p><p class=""><span class="">Please read this important request for help and share with your community. This message is from Prerak a friend of mine and a native of Nepal. He’s in Seattle as a masters student in CS, and he is a talented Pythonista and data nerd. Right now his nation needs everybody’s help.<br></span>_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _</p>
<p class="">Hi Everyone,</p>
<p class=""><span class="">My name is Prerak Pradhan and I am an MSIM student at the University of Washignton. I am from Nepal and as you may have heard my country has suffered an unimaginable tragedy. The earthquake left my home town, the capital, Kathmandu, in ruins with about 1000 estimated deaths there and about 4700 dead throughout the country. The neighborhood that I grew up in is now gone and my own house is at the moment unsafe for living.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class="">As you can imagine it has been a very difficult time for me. The past few days for me have been nothing short of a very bad nightmare. Being helpless as your loved ones suffer is probably the worst feeling one can have.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class="">The Nepalese Student Association at the University of Washington is raising funds to support the relief effort in the remote villages of Gorkha, Nepal (near epicenter of the earthquake). Any financial help that you provide will make an immediate difference to the lives of the survivors. The funds will be disbursed through a local relief agency Bhume JanaKalyan Samaj, a non-profit organization based in Kathmandu and actively working in the highly impacted villages in Gorkha, Nepal.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class=""><b>You can donate by either going to </b><a href="http://t.signauxdeux.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0SmZ58dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7sM9dn7dK_MMdBzM2-04?t=http%3A%2F%2Fstudents.washington.edu%2Fnepaluw%2F&si=5881429413068800&pi=3b27ee03-258a-44ca-8d19-cb94eb66bbca"><span class=""><b>Nepalese Student Association</b></span></a><b> or can go directly to the funding page </b><a href="http://t.signauxdeux.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0SmZ58dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7sM9dn7dK_MMdBzM2-04?t=http%3A%2F%2Figg.me%2Fat%2FaPgvhAH-RcM%2Fx%2F10642662&si=5881429413068800&pi=3b27ee03-258a-44ca-8d19-cb94eb66bbca"><span class=""><b>here</b></span></a><b>.</b></span></p>
<p class="">Your contribution will be used to house Nepalese in tents, provide my people warmth with space blankets, and nourish them with food that will be distributed to the people in the affected areas. A portion of the funds will also go towards rebuilding the region.</p><p class=""><span class=""></span></p>
<p class=""><span class="">By donating to either of these funds you will help my nation cope with the aftermath of this disaster. Every dollar counts and no financial support is small.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class="">Please feel free to contact me at <a href="mailto:prerak@uw.edu"><span class="">prerak@uw.edu</span></a> if you have any queries.</span></p>
<p class=""><span class="">Please circulate this information to anybody who you think might offer some help.</span></p>
