A Nepal Relief Fund has been developed by the Marblehead Harbor Rotary (MHR) to provide humanitarian assistance after the devastating floods.
MHR has a long-standing relationship with the Dhulikhel Nepal Rotary. After the 2015 earthquakes, three MHR members, led by Margo Steiner, participated in a Habitat for Humanity trip in the Dhulikhel area. This relationship was strengthened by Rotarian Dr. Patricia Sullivan, who was teaching and consulting at the physical therapy department at Kathmandu University. Her Rotarian and physical therapy colleagues requested her help with providing rehabilitation for the injured living in rural areas. With her MHR, Dhulikhel Rotary, and Kathmandu University colleagues, she wrote and implemented a Rotary Foundation Global Grant to provide that care.
Again, her Nepalese colleagues have reached out to ask for assistance. MHR has established The Nepal Relief Fund, housed at the National Grand Bank. To ensure the security of donations, funds will be sent to the Dhulikhel Rotary, which will organize the logistics of providing temporary shelter, food, clothing, medical and rehabilitation supplies.
The likely cause of the floods is glacial collapse, which presents an ongoing threat to Nepal as well as to many other areas.
Please donate at the Marblehead Harbor Rotary website or send a check made out to Nepal Relief Fund, National Grand Bank, 91 Pleasant St., Marblehead, MA 01945. For more information, info.rcomh@gmail.com.
