Statement and information taken directly from the Canadian Lutheran World Relief website HERE.
Canadian Lutheran World Relief, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and Lutheran Church–Canada have issued an appeal for financial donations to support the work of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), whose Kathmandu-based emergency team launched an immediate large-scale emergency response. The Canadian government will match all donations made between April 25 and May 25. Please give today! LWF staff members distributed tarpaulins, hygiene kits and ready-made food to about 400 families in Kathmandu over the weekend of the earthquake, despite being displaced from their homes themselves. Along with assessing the situation in remote communities, LWF priorities are now to provide water, sanitation and hygiene materials, as well as emergency shelter to people who lost their homes or who are staying outside for fear of aftershocks. “We have been personally involved in rescuing neighbors. There was a five-storey building which collapsed. There were eight people in it. We pulled out two people. Others managed to get out on their own,” says Laxman Niroula, an information and technology officer for LWF. As of April 28, over 4,400 people were confirmed dead after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on April 25, leaving massive destruction in its wake. Many thousands more have been left homeless and in need of urgent relief. LWF has decades of experiences with development and relief work in Nepal, having established its office there in 1984. LWF’s Nepal-based Emergency Response Hub allows a quick and substantial response to the needs of disaster-affected people in the region. LWF is currently working with the Nepalese government, the United Nations system and church partners in the ACT Alliance network to further coordinate their response. Please give today. To donate, you may: 1. Donate online HERE. 2. Call CLWR at 1.800.661.2597 (204.694.5602 in Winnipeg) to donate by credit card. 3. Send a cheque made payable to CLWR - address it to CLWR, 600-177 Lombard Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0W5. Please indicate that you wish to contribute to “Nepal earthquake relief.” There will be Choir Practices at Lappe Church on the following dates: April 30, May 14, May 28, June 11, and June 25. These practices will begin at 7:00 p.m. Thanks!
