Message from Mayor Jake Wilson:

Three weeks ago, flash floods in the Himalayan region devastated countless Nepali and Tibetan communities, but the sheer scale of this nightmare is still revealing itself. Rescuers are desperately searching for thousands still missing and more than 1,400 lives have been confirmed lost.

Survivors of the floods are facing a difficult recovery. In an instant, an area filled with vibrant communities, just like Somerville, was decimated. The infrastructure impacts are catastrophic, with $200 million needed to repair Nepal’s roads and bridges alone. But the personal losses are immeasurable. It’s estimated that the floods destroyed 8,317 Nepali homes. That’s thousands of tables where families gathered for meals, thousands of beds parents used to tuck in their kids – vanished in seconds. UNICEF estimates more than 32,000 children were affected by the floods.

But we can help. If you’re able to support recovery efforts, donations can be made to the Nepali Red Cross ( https://bit.ly/46xomsF ) or directly to the Government of Nepal through the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund ( https://bit.ly/46ybKS9 ). There’s a long road to recovery ahead for all affected, but with our support, survivors don’t need to walk it alone.

I also want to share my gratitude and sympathy with Somerville’s Nepali and Tibetan communities. Over the past three weeks you’ve transformed your grief and fear into the type of courage and resilience that is an inspiration and call to action for all of us.

Longtime Somerville resident Vijendra Kumar Pradhan, who recently passed, exemplified that spirit. My deepest condolences on this profound loss are with his family, friends, and the entire Nepali community. Vijendra was a talented artist, energetic community leader, and cherished friend to many. He served as President of the Newah Organization of New England and was an impactful member of the Greater Boston Nepali community. His generosity, friendship, and kindness now serve as lights to help guide all of us through these difficult times.

We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mr. Jagadish Chitrakar at the age of 81 in Boston, USA. He was a renowned artist of traditional and modern painting, a writer of Newar literature, and the father of Yurish Chitrakar (father-in-law to Nisha Shrestha Chitrakar). We pray that his soul finds eternal peace in Sukhavati, and we extend our deepest wishes that the bereaved family finds strength and patience through the understanding of life's impermanence.
