Sorry to commandeer the topic post from you, @Nawzlew
, but I felt this would be preferable to creating a new, separate topic to feature on the front page and add to our forum announcements.
Big thanks to @Nawzlew
, @Zephyr1983
, and @lobotomybeats
for volunteering their time and talent to develop badge designs for us. They were all great, but we wound up selecting the three you see in the topic post as we felt they worked together the best to demonstrate a sense of progression.
Thanks to @sea manup
for the keychain offer.
Badges will begin rolling out to all contributors this evening. Please continue to help us get the word out. Let's clear this $3,000 goal!
It's going to take quite some time before we'll know. As mentioned earlier, their offices are all closed for the week and individual project assessments will depend on road conditions and other factors.@Methodical Management did you happen to get an update on the library?
!On April 25th, a devastating earthquake registering a magnitude of 7.8 struck the country of Nepal. As many as 10,000 are feared dead, and thousands more have lost their homes and businesses.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that over 8.1 million people are currently in need of aid. More than 3 million require food assistance and greater than 14,300 face serious injuries.

The government of Nepal has projected that over 130,000 homes have been totally destroyed, and an additional 85,800 have sustained damage. Tens of thousands of displaced people and families are currently living out of tents in relief camps.

In the past, our community has come together to raise over $10,000 for disaster relief efforts in the Philippines following Super Tyhpoon Haiyan, and over $18,000 to assist those impacted by the 2011 famine in East Africa.
The time has come for us to pool our efforts and our resources to help the people of Nepal as they work to rebuild and recover from this terrible tragedy.
We've established a group fundraising page with Mercy Corps, the organization we entrusted with previous fundraisers devoted to the 2011 earthquake in Japan and Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, to accept your contributions:

In recognition of your generosity, we will be awarding special badges to all users who contribute $10 or more to our group fundraising page and leave their account name in the comments section.
