Report from disastermedics.org:
"We found out that that village was called giban pui(I think). It has about 98 houses and all have been completely destoyed or damaged to an unlivable condition. Most every family was able to salvage enough pieces of their old house to build a temporary shelter. Or they moved the animals out of the barn and turned the barn I to a house. We stayed in what was a barn that had been cleaned out and turned into two houses. The nearest medical facility is 2 hrs away. There is a medical sub station. 2 hrs farther down the road or they can go 2 hrs into Kathmandu. No one was seriously hurt in the earthquake in this village. Since most of the people live on the hillside, there is still this possibility of land slides or mud slides happening from an after shock. The primary school has had the lions club come and build temporary class rooms for the student its to study in. The school should reopen in a week or two. Sanitation is still a issue. They know how to be sanitary but the earthquake had also damaged all the outhouses. We only saw 2 working outhouses while we were there. They said that they had plans to rebuild more outhouses in the near future. This may be something that can be done to help in the future if it has not been done already. The main this that we saw and heard that they needed was dry shelter. Since most of the pieces were salvaged to build the temporary shelters, they have some holes in them. And with monsoon season almost here they are worried about staying dry. I think that a simple solution is to get some tarps to cover the roof and holes. Before the tarps can be put on the roofs, they need to make the area around the holes not sharp. Since they were all nailed down and when they were pulled or ripped off they have jagged edges. If this is not taken care of before they put on the tarp, the tarps will rip when the winds and rains come. The next best solution is to replace the roofs with new sheet metal."
