We will initiate discussions with WHR and a commercial hospitality operator in Kathmandu leading to the purchase and operation of a boutique hotel in Kathmandu. The hotel will serve as a training venue where WHR’s constituents can learn a variety of trades relevant to the hospitality/tourism industry in Nepal. On completion of training, the hotel will offer placement assistance or direct employment if possible. To the extent possible, the training will be offered on an each-one-teach-one basis, fostering solidarity and loyalty among the graduates and sustainability in the teaching program.
This project represents a major transition point for CRI. It marks the beginning of a transition in our organization from passive funding though local NGOs and direct giving to selected beneficiaries and into active management of projects in-situ within the areas we serve.

A second disaster threatens to overtake Joplin MO by way of a tidal wave of unsolicited goods (things like clothing, miscellaneous household items, mixed or perishable foodstuffs, diapers...) and volunteers who just show up to help. Critical resources are being redirected from the important work of response and relief to managing what has become a crush of unneeded donated items. Social networking sites are promoting collection drives while radio stations, small and large businesses, business and fraternal organizations and churches around the country fill semis with items that threaten to crowd warehouses and overwhelm distribution channels in the impacted area.
Your help is urgently needed to stem the flow of unneeded goods and volunteers into Joplin. You are encouraged to reach out to your employees, customers and other constituents on how those wanting to help can do so in a way that doesn't cause further impact, but rather aids in the response and recovery effort.
The following guidelines were developed by a coalition of government, voluntary agency and faith-based partners:
Cash to a recognized voluntary agency is the single best way to help disaster survivors. Cash doesn't need to be sorted, stored or distributed, and it allows the voluntary agency to the donation towards the needs that most urgently need addressing.
