Before they can live in Langtang again they need basic help, as they have lost all. Now the Monsoon is coming, until mid September it's going to rain during nearly the whole day. This makes every day living very difficult for the refugees. The help can be of any kind like:

• Clothes. Sometimes we think of sending things from here but if we think that in Europe everything is more expensive and then we add the shipping costs, finally it's more useful if they can buy whatever they like in Nepal and then they can dress as they like as many Tibetan women don't like modern clothes, they prefer their traditional ones.
• Food.The same happens with food, we could organize shipping from here, but they still have rice, lentils etc. in their country. It's easier and more economical if they buy it there. It's not a desert like in Africa where cargos of food and water have to be sent.
• Medicines: Basic medicines for diarrhoea, antibiotics, painkillers, iodine and bandages to clean wounds etc. Right now medical teams are going to the camp to help the wounded, but later on they might have to do it alone.
• Temporary rental of flats in Kathmandu for the ill as they can't live in tents and need to be looked after, or for mothers with little children. Flats there cost 70 to100 €/month.
• Additional healthcare costs. Due to the special situation caused by the catastrophe operations and hospital expenses are being paid for by the government of Nepal. But there is saturation in the hospitals and everything is done very quickly and they send people home while they still ill. We don't know how long the health aid will continue, but we think that soon everyone will have to pay for their treatments and operations again.
