Now is an important time to demonstrate our concern for all in our human family, by responding quickly with disaster relief, but also by committing our support to the people of Nepal for their long-term recovery.

“We are actively engaging our international partners and GPF chapters in Nepal and India to determine the most appropriate response and support that can assist in long-term recovery.
