Notes from today’s meeting

We met this morning for to go through what we have been doing for the past few days, and to plan together what projects we will be focusing on for the next days. Yesterday, we had two different teams going to three villages in the Sindhupalchok area to gather information about their situation. Based on the information collected yesterday, we were today able to discuss their necessities, and our possibility of helping them. Until now, our main priority have been to distribute food, but we see now that the needs have changed, so we will no turn our focus to build shelters strong enough to endure the upcoming monsoon.
