Today, local Red Cross volunteers helped to distribute almost 25,000 kilograms of relief supplies to six of the most remote villages devastated by the earthquake. The distributed supplies include food, blankets, jerry cans, hygiene kits, plastic sheeting and cooking utensils. Some cried with relief. Others shook our hands. Others simply said thank you. They say they are humbled to know that strangers from around the world care about them.

It’s a story that will be repeated. Tomorrow the Red Cross volunteers will be back out again, distributing aid in 4 more villages.
