“...Choeling Monastery in Kathmandu in June 2015, forty-nine days after the earthquake. This Tibetan Buddhist monastery also served as their displaced persons camp. (Lord, 2015) Figure 5- In October 2015, Rasuwa Relief team members and collaborators walk through the upper part of Langtang village, which was leveled by the blast from the avalanche (visible in the background). During this trip, we conducted a detailed damage assessment that would help facilitate the process of resettlement and reconstruction. (Lord, 2015) teerism began to change following the second earthquake, we made a multiple commitment to continue our work, amid and despite the confusion.

Roofing materials being delivered to Kyanjin Gompa in November 2015, used to repair damaged homes and build temporary shelters in advanced of the winter months. Rasuwa Relief worked with the Langtang Management & Reconstruction Committee and other NGOs to coordinate these logistical aspects of resettlement. (Lord, 2015) delivering 37 metric tons of shelter materials and food stuffs to over 1,600 households in Rasuwa and providing infrastructural support to eight different IDP camps in Rasuwa and Kathmandu. Through this work, we gained both an appreciation for the art of logistics and a cynicism of bureaucratic simplifications of‘the last mile’ required for distribution.

“...become a formal advisor to the Langtang Management and Reconstruction Committee (LMRC)—a group of Langtangpa leaders tasked with organizing the resettlement of the Langtang Valley and seeking self-determination within the official process of reconstruction. While Austin was honored to serve in this role, he also felt unqualified at times and had to deny requests for advice or support regarding certain sensitive matters, like post-avalanche relocation.9 This involvement, however, provided insight into the Langtangpa planning process, which then allowed Rasuwa Relief to be more precise in providing logistical support that would facilitate the reconstruction process (i.e. trail clearance, restoring local infrastructures, building storage facilities) and to coordinate more effectively with partner organizations. As a result, when the winter months ended in early 2016, the LMRC was in a somewhat unique position to initiate their own reconstruction efforts.10 As time went by, we began several other...”

“...and agency of earthquake-affected Nepalis over our own. However, while this approach was inflected by the ethics of social science, it was neither completely objective nor apolitical. In fact, and especially with respect to Rasuwa, we acted specifically and intentionally to make certain people, places, practices, processes, and pasts more visible than others—to draw attention to certain needs still unmet, like pervasive struggles with mental health, and to explicate the complex process of reconstruction (and its politics) to a broader international audience. These attempts to promote informed and critical awareness, however incomplete, were only possible because of the multiple nature of our engagement. Finally, on April 25th, 2017, Rasuwa Relief—which was formed to fill gaps and designed to be a temporary volun- teer initiative rather than an official NGO—was formally closed. And yet, while this phase of our work has finished, we remain engaged and committed, multiply. On the Practice of...”
