This Saturday it has been three months since the earthquake of 7,9 en l'escala de Richter va sacsejar el país. Des d'aleshores no han parat d'arribar les ajudes al Nepal, and Barcelona is one of the places where the most is collected. Entities such as House of Tibet Foundation o Solidarity Drivers of Catalonia they call for the international community not to forget the problem in which the Nepalese population finds itself.
Durant back dies, a truck from Drivers Solidaris de Catalunya has collected shelter material and tents. With the help of the people of Barcelona, nearly two tons of material have been collected and are already on their way to Nepal. The president of the entity, Miguel Saperas, explained that these are essential items, as the Nepalese are homeless and need shelter from the monsoon rains.
Regarding the Tibet House Foundation, in early June a group of volunteers traveled to Nepal to bring supplies to Kathmandu and, especially, in the villages of more remote areas, in which help comes in drops. According to Esther Raya, foundation volunteer, the citizens of these small towns are the ones who experience the consequences of the earthquake the most, because "the difficulty of getting there by road” decreases the arrival of help in these places. In this case, The Casa del Tibet Foundation has focused on raising money and buying supplies from local businesses in order to encourage them, since it has been greatly affected by the decline in tourism after the earthquake.
