Nepal collections for earthquake victims

Tuesday, 28 April 2015 20:55

A local charity is raising money for Nepal after an earthquake on Saturday which killed more than 5,000 people.

The One World Centre's volunteers will be collecting for the Disasters Emergency Committee aid appeal across the Island from Friday to Sunday.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the worst Nepal has experienced for 80 years, has left hundreds of thousands of people without shelter.

Volunteers are still needed for the weekend - if you can help call Rosemary Clarke on 800464 or email info@owciom.org.
