Dear Members of our Board,

As I'm sure you have heard by now, a 7.8 earthquake rocked Nepal today, killing thousands and triggering a deadly avalanche on Everest. It is the worst earthquake to strike Nepal since one in 1934 all but nearly destroyed Kathmandu.

WFP's regional bureau in Bangkok has been mobilized right from the start to prepare to support the response. (For more history on WFP's presence in Nepal, see: http://wfpusa.org/blog/wfps-work-nepal)

While much is unknown at this very early stage, we would appreciate your assistance in both spreading the word about WFP's emergency relief efforts and by engaging your networks to encourage people to donate to us: www.wfpusa.org/nepal.<http://www.wfpusa.org/nepal.>​

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support, as always.

Shannon Hiskey
Vice President, Operations
