5/11/15 Relief for Nepal Update: Aparna News

Aparna teaching Healing Touch to children and families

 

Dear Healing Touch Community,

HTWF would like to thank you for your generous donations, prayers and support for Aparna and the people of Nepal in this difficult time. To date, the Nepal Relief Fund has raised a total of $8,000. Aparna has received $5000 thus far for immediate needs.

Although the devastation from the April 25, 2015 earthquake is unimaginable, we see the power of human spirit prevailing. Aparna gives selflessly to her community, working to provide comfort during a stressful time.

Update on 5/11/2015 Report and pictures this morning
from Aparna:

Bonnie and Norm Morrow had a long talk with Aparna this morning, she is very tired, but doing well all things considered. She indicated that aftershocks of 4-5 magnitude continue and thus everyone is still very on edge and concerned about being indoors. She received the $5000 we sent her and is using it for supplies to support the HT workers and the clients she is seeing. She says that while lots of aid is getting into the country, it is not getting to the villages or even to the poorer sections of Kathmandu where road access is limited or non-existent. So along with providing Healing Touch, she and her students are providing some food, water and tents to those in the most need. Because of the demand, she says HT sessions are generally short and so the primary tool has been mind clearing, supplemented with chakra connections and short versions of other techniques as needed. She has also been holding training sessions for as many as hundred at a time to teach them HT techniques. Thus, HT treatments are becoming widely practiced in those areas where she has been working (mostly villages on the outskirts of Kathmandu where she had clinics).

HTWF is offering a path for our community to directly help Aparna. Contributions made through this fundraising effort will go directly to Aparna for her immediate needs, as well as helping her provide Healing Touch to the people of Nepal. Aparna and the families of Nepal need our love, prayers and compassion. Thank you for any amount of contribution you feel led to give.
