Solidarity Trips and donations
Over the last months, we have been contacted for many people asking for information regarding some of the families they meet at anytime in the past during their trekkings in Langtang Valley, even some tourists that were in the affected areas by the time of earthquake came back to us later on asking for specific people to know if they survived the avalanche….We tried our best to provide them with all the information and also gave them the direct contacts of the people who might be able to help them personally. We also distributed money coming from private sources to specific people, as it was impossible to contact with them from their originary countries. We tried to work in the linkage between those people to create relationships for assistance in the long term.
We also released to the world stories of bravery and overcoming of some of the people who let us write about them….thanks to that we had direct funds for some of those people. Its a big pleasure and such a gratifying feeling to realize how some people have the capacity of empathy, they understand the situation and they want to offer their help.
The touristic seasson is about to start now with the end of the rains and many people want to travel to Nepal and at the same time bring some help to their citiziens. Some people contacted us as per their interest about langtang and asking for the current situation over there, the possibilities for trekking, the dangers which might afford and also the better way to help directly once in there. We do really appreciate and thank to all of them for the nice aim to offer aid and we did provide the most reliable information available about the current situation to make the best of their trip plan.
We try to have the option for them to meet directly with the village’s people to hep them in place and then realize which are the real needs, they can also have a local guide during the trip to interplay easier.
Some of the travellers were already in Langtang’s area in the past, for others it will be first time but main idea for they all is making of this experience a solidary trip to improve the life of the locals. Actually, my honestly thinking is that for those people travelling that way it makes from their trip such a big and intense experience of life which will remain with them forever and they will create relashionships with locals who might even also last forever.
Once in Kathmandu, there are many individual tourists, associations, and small NGOs that decide to make their donations directly to Comité para la Reconstrucción de Langtang. They receive them in there, they explain with detail the priorities and they agree in the use of the money received from the donations and the donants receive a certificate that the donation has been done.

We would like to thank Sandrine Hamelin for her great support for Langtangpas. She has raise some fund from go fund me. Here is her message to Langtangpas.
Hi!
My friends and I were in Kyanjin Gompa on April 25th. We have waited for rescue near Langtang for a couple of days afterwards. When we got back home we started raising money for Langtang with a Gofundme page called Help Langtang Valley. We have now raised 8512$ CAN (which is approximately 6250$ US) and we think that the most efficient way to use this money in order to help Langtang people would be to send it to your committee.
I don’t think I’m wrong when I speak in the name of all of us who were there during the events and tell you that we think about you guys every single day since. I personnally hope that I can be back someday, be it to help with the reconstruction or to see the beautiful work that you’ll have made.
Best toughts,
