Dear Family & Friends:
Mingma spent 3 days in San Francisco, 3 days in Seattle and is now in New York, where he will stay for 8 days before returning home. He will return home with some good memories and stories from his first visit to America.
Mingma shared with me hundreds of photos of the devastation caused by the earthquake in Nepal. I have posted a few of those photos below. In an earlier post, I listed several relief organizations.

Mingma will have a lifetime of memories to share from his USA visit. Thank you, Bill, for posting some of the earthquake devastation pictures shared by Mingma. The Highlands “Red house” picture is particularly poignant–National Geographic quality.

Bill we enjoy all the wonderful pictures you send! You are a great host. You have given a whole lifetime of memories to this young man to take back and share with his people.
You are a good example of a christian man who cares for others. W&V SLAVEN
