In April 2015, a catastrophic earthquake hit Nepal killing nearly 9,000 people and injuring nearly 22,000 more. It occurred at 11:56 Nepal Standard Time on 25 April, with a magnitude of 7.8Mw or 8.1Mw.

Many people lost their lives, homes and livelihood and 3 years on people in the most affected areas are still trying to rebuild their communities, such was the magnitude of the damage caused by the earthquake. This was an event in the history of Nepal which has changed the country forever. Nobody ever imagined that this magnitude of a natural disaster would occur and take thousands of lives.

The relief effort began as soon as safe it was to do so and VoS started collecting money, clothes, household items, food and anything that could help people in their daily lives. We got a lot of support from our well wishers, friends and family nationwide and globally.

There were also some international friends and volunteers who joined us.

Our team, distributed clothes and food in GMC( GANDAKI MEDICAL COLLEGE), a hospital in Prithivi Chowk, Kaski, Pokhara where many of the victims and injured were treated. Doctors and nurses also helped us communicate and work with the patients. We were very saddened by what we saw, but were also very happy and proud that we could work and help others in such a tragic situation.
We also went to many other institutions and community houses and helped the victims by spending some quality time with them. Not only did we give them financial support but also emotional support and sometimes, they only needed someone to listen to them or be supportive.
One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say. – Bryant H. McGill

On April 29th, we went to Gorkha, the epicentre of the earthquake. Our team had reserved the big Truck and we delivered as much as we could. We distributed essential supplies such as food, water, medical and first aid equipment, clothes and shoes and warm blankets. We also distributed toiletries, bedding and much more.

We went off road for ⅔ hours and walked another half an hour to a very remote region of Gorkha where we delivered more essential supplies. We wanted to deliver the items ourselves as we didn’t want anything to go astray. We had hired a truck to transport all the supplies but due to the amount of landslides and damage, most roads were blocked and impassable. With the coordination of the Nepalese Army, our supplies were delivered by the army to the most remote regions, where it was only accessible by helicopter.

To this day, with the help of INGOs, NGOs, international and national wellwishers and the government, rebuilding of lives, schools and communities in the most affected regions is still continuing. The aftermath of the earthquake brought people together from all walks of life and the world joined ‘hands in hands’ to
