Aftershocks in Nepal

Been reading up on earthquakes and aftershocks for an upcoming blog.  With the aftershocks going on - when do our friends get to go home - if, indeed there is still a home to go to? 

Some aftershocks or even earth quake swarms can go on for years as in the case of Christchurch, New Zealand (first quake September 4, 2010) or an aftershock or two. *

And I am close to choosing an NGO to help get money to our young men and their families.

But until then some good news -

Roshan - good young man! Safe

Rojina, lovely young lady and Roshan's sister

I also hear rumors that our other Banepa muscular dystrophy young men 

are safe but I'm gonna ask for a headcount.  Still have heard nothing from 

our friends in Kathmandu.  I'll keep hunting...
