Nepal Earthquake

We started this page initially to just have all information in one place but then later we got contacted by people who were looking for their families and friends. We then dedicated ourselves to helping connect families. We would take the phone number and name from Nepalis based outside Nepal and then make calls to Nepal and find if families were safe and sound.

We did by asking our friends and families to make the call and calling ourselves through skype. As we managed to get a few calls through we started feeling very happy about it.

Later we got many families based abroad contact us asking information about missing friends and families and we started sharing the pictures citing Missing People.

The most satisfaction we got from the page was replying to individual messages and just giving a word of assurance to keep faith. In a way doing that helped us keep faith too. We felt happy that we were helping people, helping happiness in between chaos.




Since we all have some form of education in health, we also used this page to provide information on health at times of disaster and after. We will continue to do that. 

We have made so many friends and have formed a small community and we want to keep that momentum going to create a long-term difference.

Because of the very good response we've had on our page, we want to now look ahead and find a way to keep the community support for Nepal going. We hope to bring stories on the progress in Nepal as well as keep updating you about our efforts too.
