I have traveled all over the world – 79 countries in fact, and honestly loved Nepal. The people were poor but so kind, decent, hospitable and trustworthy. In fact it was a lot nicer place and population than most first world countries. So if you can spare even a $10 bill (now doubled to $20 by the Canadian government), it will be worth more like $50 in Nepal. Probably Doctors without Borders or Save the children is best, but really this is the one time that no matter how short you are you should tighten your own belt and help those wonderful people. We should have a proper embassy there too and take in a few thousand immigrants from Nepal; they would be a credit to any country.
