A survey of damaged and destroyed buildings in Sindhupalchok District shows that this district north-east of Kathmandu is probably the one most severely hit by the earth quake. The impact on the NHB schools includes: Three buildings destroyed completely, requiring complete rebuild; Seven more were damaged, but will probably be in use again after some repairs; Five survived without any damage. A complete list of all schools will follow.

First relief shipments are arriving for the earth quake victims, including seven tons of rice and 500 kg wheat, as well as blankets. According to Sham Pandit, the local coordinator, NHB is the first aid organisation to distribute relief. 

Moreover, Siddhi Memorial Hospital is the receiver of the first donations in order to guarantee their daily work, buying medicine and other medical equipment.

The Bavarian TV is broadcasting a show about the earth quake in Nepal on Wednesday, 6^th May between 6.00 and 6.45 p.m. In the course of these forty-five minutes NHB, their work and projects will be introduced to the audience.

For now we can only thank again all donators for their generous support. Thanks a lot!!!
