Kapil Adhikai, the owner of Himalayan Café and Himalayan Collection in Pasadena, is trying to collect funds to assist those in such terrible need in Nepal. The damage is so widespread from the 7.8 earthquake that many villages and towns outside Kathmandu have sustained far greater damage but are difficult for crews searching for survivors, for obvious reasons. While the Red Cross and Los Angeles Firefighters, as well as scores of UN volunteers, are helping at the scene, still much is needed.

Enter Kapil Adhikari. Deeply touched by the tragedy, this man just wants to help in any way he can and help spread the word that money in needed urgently for supplies to assist the families of over 14,000 plus victims of the quake.

With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827 sq mi) and a population of approximately 27 million, Nepal is the world’s 93rd largest country by land mass and the 41st most populous country. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by the People’s Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. Nepal is separated from Bangladesh by the narrow Indian Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim.

Hundreds of thousands are left without homes. Water and basic necessities are virtually nonexistent. The only way one can really describe the temblor is this: Biblical in proportion to any other natural disaster in south east Asia.

If you can help, no matter how small … please contact Kapil at (626) 676-3550.
