On August 26, a catastrophic flash flooding event swept through northern Nepal, destroying homes, roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure.

The Red Cross is working to help impacted people as quickly as possible.

You can help by donating at https://brnw.ch/21x5gco or text NEPAL to 20222 to donate $10.

A beautiful reminder of what One Light is all about. 💛
We are humbled and incredibly grateful. To see someone who came to our community find a Sense of Belonging, and then turn that feeling into something meaningful for others, is the kind of impact that words can hardly describe.
Every ray carries a message. Every message carries a voice. Every person brings something valuable to our community.
Thank you for reminding us why we do what we do.
One Light. One community. Stronger together. 🕯️💛

Un magnifique rappel de ce que représente One Light. 💛
Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants et touchés par cette belle attention. Voir une personne qui a trouvé auprès de notre communauté un Sense of Belonging — un véritable sentiment d’appartenance, puis transformer ce sentiment en quelque chose de significatif pour les autres, représente exactement l’impact que nous souhaitons créer.
Chaque rayon porte un message. Chaque message porte une voix. Et chaque personne apporte quelque chose de précieux à notre communauté.
Merci de nous rappeler pourquoi nous faisons ce que nous faisons.
One Light. Une communauté. Plus forts ensemble. 🕯️💛
