A devastating tragedy has struck in Nepal on April 25. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal killing more than 6,000 people with other deaths
in India and Tibet.
The people of Nepal have seen their world literally crumble (including many ancient Buddhist temples and stupas). They are pulling loved ones from the rubble and are forced to stay outdoors in makeshift shelters without electricity or heat in the very cold temperatures. Food and water are uncertainties.
To contemplate this situation, there was a pain in my heart and tears in everybody’s eyes. With the contribution of 90 per cent prominent artists
of Bangladesh, Athena Gallery of Fine Arts organised a fundraising
exhibition from May 17 at its gallery in the city’s Progati Sarani area
for the earthquake victims.
