After this disaster response we went to Baharbote village to distribute 50 pack. Altogether we distributed 250 packages to his village and nearby area, we are happy to see some smily face after people got relief packs. The villages we saw in this trip was very devasted in up high hills, the roads were uncomfortable, very few rescue and relief team reached to the village due to remoteness. Many people near this villages are also seeking for help and food, we can feel that by seeing their face, resource that we can carry are limited, hope to help such faces soon. Story About a Lady(05/05/2015): A lady who was above 80, came to CDRA office. She lost her house and nowhere to go. She have no money, no tents, no relatives nothing. And her neighbour refused to help her. She was asking for some food and clothes. She lost her husband long time ago. She have a son who is 54 years old but he is dumb and a daughter who is nearly 33 years and she is mentally retarded. CDRA member help her providing her the relief package and some clothes for her, her son and her daughter. Working for low cost housing: We just finish the foundation of low cost housing nearby CDRA office, the house looks like its getting its proper shape. Its just a prototype so we have reduced its size by 0.60 percent.the volunteer from Bodhicharya Pariyatti Kendra (Local social organization) and CDRA nepal helps througly in construction work.

5 Newspaper Coverage regarding Quake: Ministries to priorities rehab, rebuilding (The Kathmandu Post 5th May) With huge resources required for rehabilitation and reconstruction works in the aftermath of the Great Earthquake, the Ministry of Finance plans to ask ministries to review their programmes which they have already planned for the next fiscal year. Finance Ministry officials said that since a huge amount of money needs to be diverted for the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure, the ministries would be asked to remove from priority programmes and projects that are not essential to be implemented immediately. The government has announced the National Reconstruction Fund of Rs200 billion and has already allocated Rs20 billion to it. Additional resources are expected to be contributed by donors. 500 foreign rescuers return (The Kathmandu Post 5th May) Over 500 foreign rescue workers, who landed here to conduct search and rescue operations in the wake of the devastating earthquake on April 25, have left for their respective countries. On Sunday, the government had asked them to wrap up their mission and leave the country, leaving any unfinished tasks with the domestic rescue teams. Victims complain inadequate aid(the Kathmandu Post 5th May) NUWAKOT, MAY 05 - Serving as an example of utter negligence of the government, earthquake victims in Rajodhar settlement are left high and dry in the absence of relief. Ten days past the disaster, people in the settlement resided mostly by the Magar community are remained virtually out of sight. Neither the government nor the private sector has reached the locality and the victims have been forced to live on boiled water. Relief concentrated on areas with road access(the Kathmandu Post 5th May) CHITWAN: The collection and distribution of relief has turned into fashion with each group competing with others. However, the number of such groups taking relief to affected areas in remote parts of the district or outside is next to none.
