Nepal Relief Efforts

Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal, India and Bangladesh after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the region.  More than 5,000 people are confirmed dead from Saturday's earthquake just outside Kathmandu, Nepal. Nearly 11,000 more were injured, according to Nepal's National Emergency Operation Center. You can support the relief organizations that are responding to the disaster.

Donations can be directed to international organizations working in Nepal via USAID's recommended list of organizations.  Locally, the Brother's Brother Foundation has partnered with Himalayan Healthcare to provide aid to Nepal. The Nepalese community of Pittsburgh has also organized a Facebook page to provide information on how you can participate in relief efforts.

As we learn more, we will post additional resources.
