Without prompt, or any requests, our partner NGO, Eco Himal Nepal sent us seven essays written by their staff and asked us to publish them for the world to read. We present them here, in raw unedited form. They are beautifully written, informative and moving. The Coronavirus pandemic is a truly global challenge.

Situational Statement

by Chhabilal Rana

In this time the whole world is struggling with Corona Virus (COVID-19). It is a very difficult situation for the whole country, as per the government's decision to prevent this situation not to leave the house except of most emergency task. Now the whole Country is in LOCK DOWN situation. In order to prevent this situation, we must take initiative and follow the decision of the government, as I have to say about my situation now, I'm staying at field office Kavrepalanchok and the situation is not very complicated here. I am staying safe here and I am working from home according to the direction of the organization. It has been a bit awkward for me to stay 24 hrs at home/office but under this healthy emergency I have to stay safe and support to my organization and the government as best I can and I have committed for this.

Stay safe from Corona Virus (COVID-19)
