Six months ago two earthquakes struck Nepal within weeks of one another, leaving millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. The earthquakes triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest and another in the Langtang Valley. More than 8,500 people died as result of the earthquakes. With the monsoon season now over, the ELCA and others have resumed earthquake reconstruction efforts and are preparing for the winter season.
