"Personally sharing, i was in tears after i got updated and big thank you to everyone. I know so many of you have contributed and keep doing that. Another important thing, HATS OFF to @RTTNepal team whose effort from 370 Km's away at Biratnagar made this entire rescue effort happen. Hence, we should keep appreciating them for their effort.", said by Gaurav Kandel for our initiation for earthquake victims." At 3:30pm, I was on my laptop working on @NepalEarthquakeRelief work.
Suddenly, i got a update from my Global Shapers Kathmandu Hub colleague Sneh Rajbhandari's update -
"Guys do u know of anyone who can help us with a helicopter. child in critical condition at our health post in Tipine. Will only make it if he is evacuated today. If u find an option pls tell Dr. Tshering and also call 9851099600 my mum who is at the health post"
Sneh's mom Dr. Swaraj is our current focal point at the health post that we Global Shapers and Childreach Nepal have been working at. While, Dr Tshering Lama is a Young Global Leaders #YGL2015 and Country Director of our operational partner Childreach Nepal who is originally from Helambu, Sindhupalchok
After that update on our viber group, i posted the update on my personal Facebook and started making some calls -
"URGENT - Helicopter required -
Child in critical condition at our health post in Tipine, Sindhupalchowk we are praying for his health and its an urgent request for him to be evacuated from there.
Please contact me asap @ 9803039750 if anyone has a reach to Helicopter"

With many shares, comments and likes i was called by Nirmal Tamang from Rapid Response Team (@rrtnepal on twitter ) who had formed @RTTNepal info center in two hours after the Earthquake at Biratnagar with 20 youths and with the website www.tremornepal.com to share updates.
Later finding out how he got to know about it was from ईशान's tweet who also got updated via Ashik dai's status.
Ishan tweet reads -
"ईशान @ish_aana

Coming back to Nirmal ji and @RTTNepal Nepal team, who wanted details of the location and child's age and condition whom i briefed about it. He informed the Nepal Police team and also asked me to call 4211208 at Home ministry Control desk.
I called 42211208 who had called me in between after Ashik dai shared me Lakshmi Prasad Dhakal, spokesperson at the Ministry of Home Affairs contact details who informed me that the private helicopters will start operations from tomorrow.
In between the conversation with Lakshmi i was getting calls too and later this went as missed call and i found it was from 4412780 and i called back and that was Nepal Army Disaster Relief Operation Sankat Mochan | Nepal Army
Nepal Army team took some details from me of the location and the child's update and i provided Dr. Swaraj's number whom they contacted back and the rescue mission was successful.
#SankatMochan team chopper rescued the child. Got updated from Sneh -
" military agreed to help. chopper is landing as I write this "
Thanks everyone who have been actively involved smile emoticon
Global Sharpers Kathmandu Hub as well as Childreach Nepal along with the doctors team thanks everyone involved.
