Over my 2015 summer, I organized a community book drive to help the victims of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. A friend of mine helped me; we called my initiative 'Nepal, My Pal'. The idea came to me in 10th grade, when I thought of raising money for a cause I hadn't thought of yet. But that cause crystallised after watching the devastating news in April.
We collected 300+ books from people in my apartment complex, and sold them to local book dealers. The proceeds were donated to the Nepal-based NGO, Hamro Sahayog.
I had such a wonderful time doing so, and am glad that my actions have helped those affected in Nepal. For any more information on the initiative, feel free to contact me!
