Help for Chile We appeal all non-resident Nepalis and people of Nepali origins and friends to step up and help the victims of earthquake in Chili in this time of catastrophe. Authorities put the death toll from Saturday's magnitude-8.8 quake at about 300, but believed the number would grow. They said 1.5 million Chileans were affected and 500,000 homes severely damaged by the mammoth temblor. (Washington Post) Please contribute directly to the people of Chile by clicking below. Thank you. ANA Emergency Help Fund
