News of the Nepali devastation continues to overwhelm headlines as the death toll ticks upward.
The Nepali people are resilient, having lived with the hardships of poverty and political instability for too many years. Even as they struggle through the current crisis, a sense of optimism that the country will be rebuilt, stronger, for the better, must remain.
As that happens, organizations continue to scour the rubble for survivors and provide shelters for the displaced.
