At The Farmer's Market to Help Nepali Earthquake Victims by Adam Hubert

       On Saturday May 16, 2015, I went to the New Castle Framers Market to help people in Nepal. Did you know that a huge earthquake hit Nepal on April 25 2015? I watched a video with my mom to see what devastation the earthquake caused. I felt bad for the people there. It was horrifying to watch houses and pools turn into rubble. According to the Nutritional Emergency Operation Center, at least 3,617 people are now known to have died and more than 6,500 people have been injured. I want to help the Nepali people so they can have food, shelter, water, and clothe. At the farmers market, we collected money by selling chips and cookies. My sister Hana did face painting for $1 and my friend Ruhi sold portrait drawing also for $1. I was glad to be there to help out. It was nice to end the day by eating yummy ice cream. I recommend this video for you to see the effects of the earthquake. If you would like to help, donate at zakat.org.

What ZF is Doing For Nepal

ZF Team distributing blankets

In Nepal there was a very big earthquake with magnitude of 8.2 , which is a lot. About over 8,000 people died because of this incident! (Could reach to 10,000) 2 million people have been displaced from their homes. Many family members were lost during the earthquake. Now there is a ZF team in Nepal distributing different supplies for the ones who had lost their homes. A few days ago the team distributed blankets to the homeless there. There was a brunch on Sunday in which all the money went to Nepal. The Rescue Ranger team had different jobs during the brunch. We raised $1,500 in the end. Please donate to help the Nepal survivors.

In Nepal (located in Asia) there has been a earthquake that happened there recently. This disaster had cost more than 4,600 peoples death, and more than 9,000 people injured. 8 million people across Nepal have been affected, and among that about 1 million are children in need of help urgently. Right now the survivors or facing challenges. There is less hope now of survivors people can save in a hour, it has dropped (the rate of surviving). Thousands of people have now become homeless because of this atrocity. As time goes on the death toll is expected to rise. This disaster we call a earthquake has caused many disasters some permanent and other aren't but still hard to fix.

Trip to CHOP (By Yusuf Patel)

We were working on a project to collect books for the kids in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and A I DuPont Hospital. We started the project in January and collected 1000 books. I know what it’s like to stay at the hospital because I stayed there a lot. Now let me tell you about the trip to CHOP. My dad and my friend’s  dads drove us to the hospital. We had a good time. We also gave them a check of $500 that we had collected last year. Some of us also played Pokemon while we were there.

Book Drop Off (By Mariam Patel)

On Saturday, April 18^th, we gathered at the ZF Center to get all the boxes filled with books. They were really heavy so all the grown-ups had to pick them together. While driving to the hospital, we sat in different cars with our friends. When we arrived at the hospital there were people from the staff who helped take the books to the library. After taking group picture, we went back to ZF Center and had a pizza party. The hospital was called the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The adventure was really cool!!!
