Hey urfrenrites, thank you for bringing this into the attention to us. I am wondering what the government is doing to ease these displaced people. It really made me sad when I went read before I went out. I do hope that big hearted Nepalese will or would have come forward to offer some food and monetry assistance to these unfortunate ones.

Nursing mother lives on herbs


MANAHARI (MAKWANPUR), March 19 - Medicinal herbs have kept herself and her one month old baby alive. When the baby cries out of hunger, Suntali Maya Chepang, 22, tries to breast feed the baby, but in vain. Extreme poverty and lack of food has caused ill health of both the mother and the baby.
No different is the story of other nursing mothers at the squatters' area at Ramantar at Manahari VDC-3. They were displaced due to flood last year.

Showing the pathetic condition of her new born baby, Suntali Maya said, "My baby cries for milk, but how can I breast feed when my own body does not have enough food."

In search of more medicinal herbs to feed his wife and baby, Suntali's worried husband has gone to the jungle of Parsa Wildlife Conservation. Until he comes back, Suntali has only a bowl of rice to eat. This is the third time she has become a mother.

This is very sad news. But one thing I don't understand is that if you situation is so bad, why keep on having babies?

Where are those NGOs and INGOs???

Dalli Resham ,may be somewhere in USA or Europe attending seminar of poverty elimination or gender equality!!!

Hi Nanu, Agree with you.

It would be wonderful if we could manage a way to reach out to those people who are in desperate needs. A small portion of our contribution can make a big difference in their lives - not to mention the heavenly satisfaction that we will accomplish by helping out our brothers and sisters. However, the irony is that there is no guarantee that the contributed money will make it to the targeted communities. I would be more than happy to allot a certain portion of my wages every month if there was a guarantee.

Katziman and all,

it's a pity. I was thinking to have something palatable last nite and I remembered her. It is so bad. I wrote a mail to Kpost people I want to help. but I didn't get any responses. I am sure she doesn't have any account no. I just wish I could give some support at least for few months.

This really makes me sad....
