MISSION MOMENT - August 19 is World Humanitarian Day
After the massive earthquake shook her Nepali village in April 2015, Dolma’s dream of pursuing higher education felt out of reach. Her school was demolished, and even when lessons resumed, her frightened family refused to let her go. “Our house had collapsed. My family needed me,” shares Dolma. Presbyterian World Service & Development partners in Nepal focused on repairing the shattered inner peace of survivors through community-based activities as a form of psychosocial support. “There were cultural events, folk dances and drama performances,” shares Dolma. “That was very effective in making life in the village normal again.”
