Message from Bhumesthan
Narayan was in Bhumesthan to assess the situation on the ground.
The rice harvest has been gathered and stored. This means the population would now have time to fully concentrate on building houses. However, building materials are lacking, as they cannot be transported due to the blockade.
The construction committee met and investigated the costs of procuring the materials despite the blockade. With the somewhat more expensive materials and diesel for transport from the black market, an additional $5,000 would be needed.
All materials had to be procured at once, otherwise the transport costs would double, resulting in a significant price increase.
We have decided to transfer almost all of the remaining donations, which unfortunately only amounts to about 4500 CHF. But it's better to do it now so that progress can be made in Bhumesthan. It's uncertain when the situation will normalize.
The sites where the houses will be built are mostly cleared. The construction committee is discussing the situation.
