Lets Help the Koshi Flood Victim
UPDATE 2: Donation using PayPal now accepted
After witnessing peoples desire to contribute Money to the relief program and realizing the lack of ways to do so, Rangeen Chara has come up with a transparent way to collect fund. The donation can be made by clicking on the ChipIn button on the right of this post. The fund raised so far is displayed in real-time by the ChipIn application. The amount collected by 5 September, 2008 will be handed over to the Kantipur Relief Fund by the name “Rangeen Chara : Nepalese Abroad”. Let us come together and raise fund beyond the targeted amount.
UPDATE 1: Fund to be Transfered to Kantipur
The amount will be forwarded to “Kantipur Rastriya Bipatti Sahayog Kosh” by depositing the collected amount to Siddhartha Bank Account No. 062881 C. Amounts exceeding NRs 1,000 will be mentioned in Kantipur media therefore providing transparency to the campaign.

At the time when more than 50,000 people are deprived of food and are left without a roof, our leaders are playing the blame game (Kantipur Online Aug 21, 2008). What the people really need at this moment is food and medicine, and roof if possible. I have been thinking hard about doing something as a blogger to help these people and finally came up with this idea to raise some fund.
I earn some nominal amount for bringing traffic in my blog. I have decided to bring as much traffic as possible in the coming ten days and contribute my earnings to the flood victim relief program. For each comment left on this post, I will send NRs 10.0(Ten) to the relief program. I am targeting to bring at least 2000 readers which would amount to NRs 20,000 in donation. I have not yet figured out where the money should be sent but am thinking that there will be some presidential fund for the relief program. If you have some suggestions, please leave a comment. As soon as I have an idea about where the money will be sent, I will post the information on this page. Also, I will post the proof of the payment made to the relief program.
Please pass your words to your friends and help Rangeen Chara raise more money for the Koshi flood victim relief program. Remember, every comment is worth NRs 10, a meal for one victim.
Indeed a devastating event for Nepal. I hope the government is doing all in its power to rehabilitate the victims. Meanwhile, its our moral and civil duty to contribute in whatever way we can to reduce the effects of this calamity. And ‘Rangeen Chara’ I would like to thank you for taking the initiative for this noble cause.
yea.. think bout the 10 rupee note lying leisurely in ur room..n them… lying helplessly on the ground!!
gud work. annually a large sum of money is donated from people living in the UK. We recently collected some 2.5 lacs NRs with London Marathon ( http://www.sukunda.co.uk ) where even British colleagues from Nepali people’s workplace contributed generously.
Rangeen chara is doing good indeed and I think the next thing to do in this direction should be assisting the root cause as well. Also, there can be other ways of trendsetting the donation-culture in Nepali society not only by campaigning in need but highlighting the importance generally. There can be many aspects from religious perspective too. Having said it all, I understand that RC is not a charity but I leave this to my beautiful thinker behind Rangeen Chara.
