Disaster in Nepal – Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Nepal. On April 25, the country experienced a destructive 7.8 magnitude earthquake. This natural disaster has caused over 4,000 deaths and 6,500 injuries, and many are still reported missing. The tremor was felt as far as India and triggered an avalanche on nearby Mount Everest. The amount of destruction is overwhelming, and those affected are struggling for food, water and shelter. Development and Peace is working with Caritas Nepal and others Caritas members to provide aid to the population. You can contribute to these much-needed relief efforts by donating to Development and Peace. Your contribution will be matched by the Canadian Government until May 25, 2015. You can make a donation online at www.devp.org; by phone at 1 888 664-3387; or by sending a cheque made out to Development and Peace (please indicate Nepal Earthquake) to : Development and Peace, 1425 René-Lévesque Blvd. West 3rd Floor Montreal QC H3G 1T7. Thank you for your generosity and prayers for the people of Nepal.
