The Institute of Asian Research at UBC sends its deepest condolences to the people of Nepal in the aftermath of the 7.8 earthquake that struck the country on April 25th, 2015. UBC has many connections with Nepal, and many faculty, students, and alumni have been working hard to support relief efforts through coordination, translation, fundraising, and information sharing. For those who would like to donate to organizations engaged in relief and eventually reconstruction in Nepal, please visit http://bit.ly/1I3BK84.
For further information please see our special double Asia Pacific Memo by UBC faculty members Tsering Shakya, Sara Shneiderman and Mark Turin.
