Simply Give: How to Help Victims of Nepal’s Earthquakes

TURNER Admin : May 12, 2015

Like the rest of the world, Turner PR’s heart goes out to the people of Nepal. On April 25, a major earthquake struck the country, resulting in untold damage and killing thousands. To make matters worse, a second earthquake occurred on May 12. We’d like to help in any way we can – and in addition to our dollars, we’re spreading the word about how to get the Nepalese people the aid they desperately need. Here are just a handful of worthy organizations and initiatives.
