In addition to the nearly 5000 lives confirmed or feared lost, many things that Nepalese hold dear including historic monuments, temples, and shrines have been flattened by the quake. Tremors\/aftershocks are still continuing and people have been forced to camp out in grounds and public spaces throughout the night. There is a severe shortage of essentials including food and water.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E Many Nepali students here at Tech have family members affected as well. We feel very helpless about our situation; being away from our family and not being able to help those who need our help the most. One way we are helping is by sending money through relief organizations working in Nepal. The Georgia Tech community can help in this effort. Every penny helps to bring water, food, medicine, and shelter to those who need help.\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELearn More\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003ENepali Club at GT is partnering with India Club in the wake of the Nepal Earthquake and will present information about Nepal and how to help in its recovery.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhen:\u003C\/strong\u003E Wednesday, 4\/29 from 11-2\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhere\u003C\/strong\u003E: Student Center\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/270003949705349\/\u0022\u003ENepali Club-Georgia Tech\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GTIndiaClub?fref=ts%20\u0022\u003EGeorgia Tech India Club\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENepal Earthquake Relief Candlelight Vigil:\u003C\/strong\u003E Thursday, April 30th at 5:30 pm in Woodruff Park.
