It's devastating. The horror that mother nature sometimes brings to peoples homes is unimaginable and just part of life. The recent magnitude in Nepal, which has taken more than 4,000 lives from us, has been one of the most fatal ones yet in history.
Seeing videos like the baby being rescued after being in a pile of debris and historic monuments being crushed to pieces is surreal. In no way can I sit here and type that i feel the same way they do because that would be ignorant. But since my life the past 4 years has revolved about making a story and telling it, well I can't help but put my two cents in of PR and tell you what could be done from organizations big enough to give aide to Nepal.
American Red Cross could have been one of those organization to come in and provide assistance to the hurting country. Regardless of their own priorities it helps to have a small unit of their company be apart of this catastrophe. It sets an example for others around the world to go and help rather than sending money to them.
US Military as well, if permitted, should be there to help. Yes, some may say that it doesn't seem in the countries priority list to go and help with the war against terrorism and the stop of nuclear weapons happening now but we have to remember that we are all people of this world and a helping hands goes far. It shouldn't be about the $$ but about the warmth in our hearts to go and help.
I agree with Chelsea in her blog.
