Locals Solicit Help For Nepal Earthquake Victims

Local residents are among the many looking to help victims of the earthquake in Nepal on April 23.  Photographer Peter Marbach says one of the hardest hit areas is Kumari, a steep mountainous region in the Himalayas that is home to about 60,000 people.  He points out the road between Kumari and Kathmandu, which was not very good to begin with, was essentially destroyed in the earthquake, making it difficult to get needed supplies.  Marbach adds a recently developed medical clinic was destroyed in the earthquake.  Those who would like to help with the Kumari recovery can go on-line to healthanded4nepal.org.
