Heartfelt thanks for the generous support from all the friends of Future Village! Uncountable of warm and encouraging words plus blessings via donations have been received since the emergency appeal launched and these definitely are incredible support to the villagers and volunteers.
Some anonymous donations were received, grateful if donors can send us an email once a donation was made together with the donor information and scanned copy of the bank-in slip to future.village.nepal@gmail.com . Donors will receive a confirmation email once the donation is confirmed received, and the acknowledgement receipts will be issued from mid-May onwards. As Future Village is a registered NGO in Nepal, hence the receipt is to show our appreciation and record purpose only, which is not eligible for tax deduction. Emergency humanitarian relief would be our main focus at this critical stage, which include: 1. to provide temporary shelter, drinking water, food and medicine aids to the local villagers plus to have subsidiary to affected families. 2. to rebuild houses, school and to ensure villagers can have morning farming during monsoon season. As we are still awaiting for the updates on the situation and how worse the village affected in order to identity the most desperate needs, hence we would require a bit more time to on the consolidation and evaluation. Please stay tune for the updates. Furthermore, we received a few enquiries of providing voluntary support on the rebuild including forming voluntary groups, as mentioned, the local situation is uncertain, hence please wait till further updates.

This house full of collective memories with thousands nights of laughters and tears, moments of joy, hope, love, learn, play, blessing and even needles. We knew it was badly damaged, but still heartbreaking when we saw this. "Future" is the creation from ground zero, let's be a dreamer together to rebuild this house of hope which was built bit and pieces 10years ago...
這個集義工宿舍、工作室、圖書館、學生活動室、醫療中心和廚房的多功能「未來之村」滿載了所有義工、訪客和村民的集體回憶,多年來由人一手一脚慢慢建立。雖然早知道房子在地震中倒塌,但看見相片的實況時仍是十分難過。「未來」本來就是由零去創造,現在就回歸原點,由零重新開始。 It is really said to see entire village has been destroy. The earthquake has caused extensive damage in the rural villages out of Kathmandu. Please try our best to help the affected villages.
he death toll due to the earthquake has increased to 3,815 - with 247 in the Dhading area where the Katunje ward (Future Village) is. We will update when we receive news from Dambar who will make his way to Future Village tomorrow.

The top priority now is temporary shelter and clean water/ food. Dambar is trying to make his way back to Katunje tomorrow with plastics or other materials for shelter.
Update: We received news that there are at least 2 deaths in the Katunje village. Most of the houses are destroyed but the Future Village Medical Clinic fortunately remains, most of the villagers are taking refuge at the medical clinic now.
