Nothing personal but gave £25 to Red Cross on Sunday and £50 to Doug Scott's charity today as seen their work out their and Doug has flogged himself for years on his lecture tours for this. It's very sad and hurray for everyone who gives.

Gift aided from me too.

Its difficult to add up as some have mentioned gift aid but taking everything into account and not including non DEC/British Red Cross donations, I reckon we are in the region of £3200 minimum! Amazing!!!

I deliberately suggested smallish donations to get as many people involved as possible but some people are so generous its incredible. 😯

Watching the news this morning, I'm sure it is going to be money very well spent.

£25 with Gift Aid.

All - for what it's worth, I've spoken to a decent number of my old troop and to a man they have all said that, as frustrated as they are by the Nepali government's response to the crisis, they are overwhelmed by the generosity of people and it's really helping them cope with the situation. So thanks and keep the donations coming in - your generosity is awesome!!

Donated as well

add £500 from me too, given via DEC appeal website. Served with these guys at 30SigRegt, Top guys to a man.

add £1000 given through INF an organisation I volunteered with out there for a few years. they are doing a lot of medical work in worst affected areas and providing hospital support in pokhara.

Awesome amounts 🙂 . If you are interested a bit in how we are using your money - well not exactly your money as we aren't part of the DEC group or anyone else mentioned here but are distributing some stuff from DFID - the department for international development who are spending your taxes....

If it seems weird giving tarpaulins to people with iron roofs it's because there are holes in the roof and it's monsoon season soon.

For me this sums up the randomness of it. The building on the right is fine but the building on the left obviously just collapsed. The random nature of it doesn't really help people sleep easily at night. In Kathmandu a lot survived but in many districts a huge number of houses were completely flattened

Outside the Kathmandu when stuff collapses, it really collapses. Maybe 20% of the houses are completely destroyed with 60% partially to heavily damaged

..and finally, this largely sums up the people here. Incredibly resient in the face of such a disaster. There are lots and lots of little examples of small scale groups of people getting stuff together to send outside the city to help where they can. We have a group of local English speaking students who volunteer with us to help translate during distributions. It's inspiring stuff

Add another £100 as work are matching any payments made.
Currently I think the company is well over 20k for donations

Well done (again) OP. Some very generous donations here too. @leffeboy, great photos and thank you for what you are doing.

£10 8LK71540X4684043N well done OP....good idea.

listened to a radio 4 podcast about the impact of the 'quake and the likely outcomes (as in 😯 😥 death toll estimates), unfortunately our elections have bumped a huge crisis out of the headlines. Nevertheless I've been busy/distracted since so thanks OP/STW for the prompt.

I thought the big one was 7.8, or are you talking about the area?

The Richter scale goes up in orders of magnitude - a quake measuring 7 is ten times worse than one measuring six

You're right, it's only 2.5 times. It was off the top of my head
