Dear Community Members,

Deadliest earthquakes swallowed thousands of lives, many families have been dislocated from their homes and cause permanent disabilities of innocent lives. Centuries old landmarks and artifacts were collapsed irreparably. In this difficult time, Nepal Education and Cultural Center (NECC) has initiated fund raise campaign to support earthquakes affected area in our motherland. NECC joins to the other organizations and appeal you all to donate using the link below:
