SUBJECT:

Nepal Earthquake Candlelight Vigil & Relief Drive

The earthquake that struck Nepal on Saturday, April 25, has caused mass devastation, panic and loss. The death toll already exceeds 4,000 and will continue to rise. The UC San Diego Nepalese Student Association (NSA) is working around the clock to organize support and collect funds and supplies to help the devastated city of Kathmandu.

The NSA is holding a candlelight vigil for earthquake victims at 7pm on Tuesday, April 28. The vigil will take place at Silent Tree at the entrance to Geisel Library. The vigil will include remarks from the NSA president, a moment of silence, and stories from members of the Nepalese community whose families have been affected by the earthquake.
