Thanks Stan, I'm okay
But the reason for me not attending the forums was the earthquake, though. I was busy working voluntarilly at a relief camp here.. with thousands of people. We collected, sorted and stacked literally thousands of tonnes of food, clothes, medicine and other stuff in just 2 days..
The world doesn't yet know the scale of this disaster.. according to very reliable local chartiable organizations (renouned all over the world), the death toll is at least 200 thousand. The govt. is still covering it up because there's already a very widespread anger among the public because the govt. didn't act fast enough, and thousands of lives could've been saved. Most people who died, died because of starvation.. burried under the rubble for many days without food and water, with pouring rain and cold Himalayan winter. The cries of children from under the rubbles of multiple storey school buildings slowly faded away, waiting for aid, but somewhat luckilly, there weren't any grieving parents.. almost all of them had passed away already.
According to UN officials, the real disaster is yet to strike, thousands and going to die because of infected wounds and lack of medical facilities, shelter and food. UN says it has only met 5% of what it has been pleading for, and, as one official put it, it's only the donors who are to be blamed, for not acting quick enough.
I personally know many people who (in the literal sense) lost all their family and their houses.
