On behalf of HATCC we continue to pray for all those affected in this earthquake in Nepal said: Dr. S. Yegnasubramanian, Chairman of HATCC.
Many volunteers from HATCC temple came forward and set up the tables and solicited the donations from the temple devotees. The volunteers raised an impressive amount of $26K and the amount raised was sent through both “Lions Clubs International Foundation” and “Seva Foundation” towards the humanitarian rehabilitations efforts.
As you know another powerful earthquake struck Nepal on Tuesday, May 12. The 7.3-magnitude quake hit eastern Nepal between Mount Everest and Kathmandu. According to recent reports, at least 48 people have died and more than 1,200 have been injured. Aftershocks continue, including one with a magnitude of 6.3. Neighboring countries such as India and Bangladesh have experienced major tremors with over a dozen deaths in northern India.
Less than three weeks ago, on April 25, Nepal was devastated by 7.8-magnitude earthquake close to Kathmandu, and the city of Pokhara. This quake killed more than 8,000 people. Subsequent aftershocks leveled neighborhoods, businesses, religious sites and other structures.
We pray for the people of Nepal in this time of want.
