As if the casualties are enough, Nepal encountered with
serious flood from Jhapa (east) to Bardiya (west) along with Terai or Southern border
with India, in between August 12-15, 2017. As like Earthquake, neither the
government nor the other actors really prepared for the disaster response. The
sorrow, pain, suffering was airing via social media and news. But there was no
significant presence except the police and army who were busy in saving lives
or crisis management.
I didn't see any presence of major political parties nor
major political parties who are claiming that they are fighting for right for
Madhesh, nor any organizations who worked in Terai and Disaster.
Action Works Nepal team has already on sport. I liked to go
myself to assess the situation for coming up with innovative strategies where I
have two objectives; i) HOPE: for the victims. Actions are louder than words. Everyone
called for peace but when the time come no one ready for action so I determined
to go even without having fund and team, ii) jealousy or role model: Jealousy
could be negative word. Indeed, I wanted to encourage or inspire the Kathmandu
and hill origin organization to go for support. I had only NPR 40,000 which was
donated by Students from Florida University via Anila, 10,000 from Mona
Shrestha and NPR 20,000 from my royalty of book 'Khalangama Hamala'. But I
bought the materials about NPR 150,000 in credit with the help of GyanRatna
Maharajan, President of X-Pose Nepal and went to Siraha by representation Radha Paudel Foundation (RPF). I got very warm welcome while travelling through Bhaktapur Sinduli Bardibas and Siraha in police check post. I had showed the book which was kept on cabin of Truck to get approval from security. I really thanked to everyone who supported for this support.
The details data will share later. The local peace maker
promised to sent it because they lead the process where I had guide the ways as
I had done and learned from Earthquake 2015 and Flood 2016.
