Despite of Gyane's effort, doesn't seem like US is even giving a damn about $25,000 they got as a relief donation.

Yea i just saw, hmmm we should write CNN and ask. But it wouldnt surprise me if they still haven't received the payment. hmmm.

144?

I have written to CNN, lets see what they say. :D

I talked to White House. They say the cheque bounced...

haha.. $25,000 will not even pay for the refueling of the rescue helicopters.. i think the king was trying to bribe US to let him enter the country..but sadly he failed!!

I think it should not be about the amount of the money but it should be willingness to help and care. How a country like nepal can ever support US financially but that 25 K is just the token of love, care and appriciation. Though it is a small amount but we have to appriciate what behind it.

are you guys worried about providing help or worried of name in CNN? If you really wanna help name should be of less issue to you guys. helping is not glamour and media where everyone should know.

They were proudly announcing the $25,000 assistance from Sri Lanka.

I was wondering if any of our fellow Nepalis were among the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Does anybody know?

Yea,
Me, at Auburn, AL. I got a kind of cold after Katrina. I dont know how much the medicine thing's gonna cost me.

Do you need a place to stay or is someone sheltering you in AL?

Nepal donated some money? wow! Well its great that they did that..but at the bottom of my heart, wish they used that money to help the ppl in Nepal instead.

Hey Rockon, I'm not worried about Nepal's name not being on the news but wouldn't you in the back of your mind think about it though? Everyone else's name is mentioned and ours is not.
