Education for nearly one million children in Nepal is in jeopardy. The two major earthquakes and aftershocks that hit the country and surrounding areas devastated over 24,000 classrooms. In the severely-affected districts of Gorkha, Sindhupalchok and Nuwakot, it’s estimated that more than 90 per cent of schools have been destroyed.

My name is S Uthayakumar Biravar, my recent visit to the schools in Kavreplanchok about 30km away from the capital of Katmandhu was in a very bad and pitiful situation. The children totalled  90 were studying under a tree and under a tent. I am from Singapore, I together with my friends raised about $4800 to rebuild a temporary shelter consists of wood, bamboo, and zinc for the school Sundar Surya Dev school in Kavreplanchok district. There are about 7 such schools that needs help in the mountainous regions of Kavreplanchok.  Total amount needed will be $32000 dollars.
