【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2015 年 5 月 12 日尼泊爾加德滿都訊】 ─ 在加德滿都工作的慈幼會傳教士報告說：「今天尼泊爾再次發生地震，錄得強度為黎克特制 7.4 級，為我們帶來恐慌。」然而，尚未收到任何有關慈幼會士、其他人員及財產傷亡損毀的報告。來自尼泊爾東南部 Biratnagar 的另一個慈幼會傳教士團體，也傳達了同一信息。縱使他們曾接到警報，謂這次地震將比上次更為強烈，然而未有從 Biratnagar 收到任何傷亡及損毀的報告。

在第二次地震中，Dolahka 及 Sindhupalchok 為直接受災的兩個地區，而這兩區已在4月25日第一次地震中受創。境內的慈幼會士說：「情況已經十分嚴峻，而我們目前需要盡力協助災民。」

修理工作、糧食、食水及機械，為災區最基本所需，而慈幼會士正集中精力，接濟數目眾多的災民。

昨天，5月11日，尼泊爾鮑思高學校的教師、舊生及學生，來到 Shankapur Nagarpalikka 的第15選區 Inderni，為一些家庭的生活帶來轉變。加德滿都慈幼會的神父解釋說：「這並非要展示我們的救援工作，卻更是要我們與這場災難性地震的災民共處。」

「我們捐出的物資，並非來自任何組織、朋友或外國的援助，而是由我們的老師、舊生及學生所捐助的。他們獻出一些原本用於零食、甜品、電影、餐膳、派對、冰淇淋的金錢，數目雖少卻全是個人奉獻。每一位學生都為他人作出一點犧牲。我們以鮑思高追隨者的方式待人接物。」

「我們不只捐助物資，我們的教師及學生，即使本身是地震災民，也會坐在他們中間，聆聽他們的申訴。他們與村中的青年、小孩以及長者一起相處。我們看到老婦述說她們的困境時，眼中泛起淚光。災民深受尼泊爾鮑思高學校的職員、舊生及學生的慷慨犧牲所感動，向學生回贈飲品和零食。一些長者向村中的青年說道：『看，這些學生那麼關心我們，而尼泊爾鮑思高學校又這樣作出協助，你們的學校及學生會這樣做嗎？』」

Earthquake again; Salesians are unhurt

(ANS - Nepal – Kathmandu, 12 May 2015) – “An earthquake again rocked Nepal today, measuring 7.4 in the Richter scale leaving us in shock and panic”, reported the Salesian missionaries working in Kathmandu. However, no damage to our properties, personnel or Salesians have been reported so far. The same was communicated by another group of Salesian missionaries from Biratnagar, southeast of Nepal. Though warned of a more powerful quake than the previous one, no injuries or damages were reported even from Biratnagar.

This second earthquake has hit again two of the places, Dolahka and Sindhupalchok, which were already affected by the previous one, on the 25^thApril. “It was already a difficult situation and now we need to do our best to help the people who are suffering”, said the Salesians in the country.

Repair works, food, water and medicine are the fundamental needs and the Salesians are focusing on how to reach out to great number of affected persons.

Yesterday, 11^th May, teachers, alumni and students of NEPAL DON BOSCO SCHOOL went to Shankapur Nagarpalikka Ward No. 15 Inderni, to make a difference in the lives of some of the families. It was not a mere show of pomp about our relief work but it was more being with the people affected by the disastrous Earthquake” explained Salesians Fathers in Kathmandu.

“The things we gave to the people did not come from any organization, friends or foreign funds but it was the sacrifice made by our Teachers, alumni and students. They gave up something of theirs, like money that would have been spent on snacks and confectionaries, movie, meals, parties, ice creams – small but personal contribution. Each student sacrificed something or the other for the people. We did things in a Bosconian Way”.

“We not only gave things but our teachers and students sat with them and listened to their agony and difficulties in spite of being victims themselves of the Earthquake. They interacted with the youth, children and also the elders of the village. We could see tears in the eyes of the old ladies as they narrated their plights. The victims were touched by the sacrifice and generosity of the NDBS staff, alumni and students that they reciprocated by offering drinks and snacks to the students. Some elderly people commented to the village youngsters saying, ‘Look, how these students are concerned about us and how Nepal Don Bosco School is moving around, does your school and students do so?’”
