Taar, Kavre

We reached Taar, Jyamdi 7 of Kavre around noon today. Bir Bahadur Tamang, a local, had gathered around 23 families in a shade. We distributed buckets of immediate relief supplies and tarps to each family. A few days ago, the ambience here was that of sorrow and grief and tears would just roll. The questions and the answers ceased to exist as it was incredibly difficult to contain emotions. Today, however, the environment was of relief and even though the villagers had lost members of their family, their animals and their homes, they were there, together with us ready to fight through this no matter how difficult it was. I was thoroughly inspired to witness this strength of endurance. And today, while we were there, we all let go and we all smiled a little with hope.
