A friend who was in Kathmandu during the earthquake is visiting and has been telling us of the horror and the scariness of the situation at that time. He tells of the buildings falling down and having to 'sleep' outdoors and feeling the constant tremors of the after shocks, and how the city emptied out as everyone went home to their villages to see the extent of the damage there.
Fortunately most of our business acquaintances and friends we have in Nepal seemed to have survived, though there probably is no one who hasn't felt the affects of the earthquake in some way. Though there are some of the small villages up in the hills above Kathmandu that we enjoy spending time in that we just don't know about.
We have been discussing ways to send money and to help. Probably one of best way for us to help is to sell our Nepal merchandise and to go back next fall and do more business there so that at least the business people we know can start to move forward.
Our most recent shipment is in.
So come on in to Bwana Johns and see the latest and know that every item from Nepal you are buying is helping in some small way for someone get their life in Nepal back on track.
