From blankets to handmade dolls, two foreign women bring comfort to flood survivors

A Malaysian music teacher and a Czech mother travelled to Nepal’s flood-hit communities with relief supplies—and a simple desire to help.

At the compound of the District Coordination Committee in Bidur, Nuwakot around two weeks ago, flood survivors rummaged through piles of relief supplies, picking out what they needed. Some picked up plates, bowls and water jugs. Others reached for cooking pans and ladles. Nearby were stacks of food, clothes and other household essentials.
