Dalit, Nowakot – Collaboration Spain
6th May – 6th June 2015
Dalit village in Nowakot district and Lahkhampur in Rameshap district
Most of people affected by the earthquake had suffered the consequences of the emotional shock, fear, lost of the beloved ones and their own houses and belongings. A big number of people do actually have rlung symptoms…stress, anxiety, fear, insomnia, gastritis, anorexia, depression, shock and many kinds of psychosomatic symptoms.
Thanks to the Sorig First Aid’s donations we were able to:
- Buy many medicines and give medical treatments, both tibetan and allopathic to the injured and sick people mainly in remote and affected villages.
- Donate many medicines and medical material to other teams and NGOs whom were working in medical camps in Kathmandu and affected districts around Nepal.
- To help to the lower cast people, the untouchable, who are in the most needing situation. We provided shelter materials to a settlement in Kathmandu who were forced to move to another place before the earthquake happened. We did also a medical camp in a dalit village in Nowakot district, who didn’t receive any help until we arrived due to their cast condition.
- Finally we were able to go to a very remote village, Lakhampur, in Rameshap District, affected by the earthquake where due to the monsoon they are isolated during 6 months per year due to the very bad state of the roads, so we provided food, did a medical camp and gave medicines to the health post.
This is Carlos, from Spain and I’m writing to explain you how in collaboration with Sorig First Aid, myself as nurse and TTM practitioner and Patricia Marimon as traumatological doctor tried to help as much as possible to the earthquake victims and survivors in Nepal.
Since we decided to go, we were able to raise some funds and received support from different people and organizations, Sorig First Aid among them. Finally on May 6th we arrived Nepal and during one month we helped in Hospitals and did expeditions to different places affected by the earthquake. Together with nepali people and spanish NGOs, we could help bringing food, water filters, shelter materials, medical stuff and medicines.
We would like to thank to Jacqeline Yu who always kindly attended us, gave us help and provided funds.
