Astronomy for Earthquake affected students

Hundreds of thousands of people their school going children were made homeless with entire villages flattened, across many districts of the country by the earthquake this year in Nepal. Centuries-old buildings including many schools were destroyed. Investment will not only be required on infrastructure but also on psychosocial counseling to ensure that children are able to cope with the trauma and resume with their lives. We think Astronomy may help them forget the fear of the earthquake because of its uniqueness and new for their school activities. We are focusing our activities in the school of Gorkha, Nuwakot and Kathmandu.
