For This Young Couple, a 200-Foot Fall and Enduring Tale of LoveRamila Shrestha, 17, told her family she was going to watch a movie with her friends on Saturday. A few minutes later, the 17-year-old met her boyfriend Sanjib and they both decided to go to the historic landmark Dharahara Tower in Kathmandu. They had kept their relationship a secret from their families.

14-year-old Rahul Khatri and his friends now call their school home. The Basundhara Academy classrooms are temporary shelters for residents in this area after repeated aftershocks and cracks on their building walls forced many to flee their homes.
"I have to live in the school since my home has been destroyed and I have nowhere to go," he says. There are more than a hundred people living in this school alone. The widespread damage has meant a majority of schools are now makeshift relief camps, where parents and teachers alike share the load, from cooking to everyday chores. Sandeep Dongana, a Math Teacher says, "My students and I are taking shelter in the same school. It is the same story in most government schools. Homes are so unsafe and even if the buildings are intact people are too scared to stay in those."
At a relief camp in Kathmandu we meet 12-year-old Bibek Adhikari and his cousin Rajan, who is 10 years old. When asked if he likes going to school, Rajan replies, "But it doesn't exist." Bibek jumps in to clarify. "The school walls have collapsed. It's not safe to go there. We don't know when it will be repaired," he says.
For now, children are happy that their playtime doesn't come with any restrictions, but for parents, there is the additional worry of what happens to their education. Sapna, who is taking refuge in a school, too scared to go home says, "It's ok to stay in these schools for now but we have to also think about vacating them soon. It's also about the future of our children and their education."
Nepal is fighting battles on multiple fronts and though education may not be the top priority in the immediate aftermath of earthquake, getting back to school may also help children overcome some of the trauma they have been witness to.

Basantpur Durbar Square is virtually unrecognisable. Known for its heritage structures, this area is in ruins today.
Till last week, 22-year-old Prayas Ghimire and his family lived in a 2-storeyed house in Kathmandu's heritage Basantpur Durbar Square area.
This morning, their makeshift tarpaulin shelter went missing and they were forced to move to another tent for the day at a relief camp in Turi Khel Ground in Kathmandu.
It's been five days since the earthquake and Prayas is keen to go back home. Police posted in the area have always stopped him from getting too close to his home because of the widespread rubble and for his own safety.
As he walks through the square, he talks of memories of the square. "All the big festivals would be celebrated here, the traditional ceremonies, dances. These temples were so beautiful, so historic. All of us friends would come here often. It was a lovely place just to sit and relax," he says.
15 of his friends are missing, trapped under the rubble right in front of his home. There is little hope that any of them would have survived. A noisy excavator tries to clear the rubble but that could take weeks.
"I was at our shop," he says, recalling the events of last Saturday. "15-17 of my friends had gone for a blood donation camp that was organised in Durbar Square. They must have got no time to save themselves," he says shaking his head.
Prayas walks up to a Nepal Army official and asks him how many bodies they have pulled out from the rubble. His answer is not heartening. "It hurts a lot to see all this. I've lost my friends, I'm living like a homeless and everything I knew and grew up with is gone. How will we be able to rebuild from here?" he asks. It's a question that all of Nepal is asking.

His brow furrowed with concentration, 65-year-old Ashok Dhital is stoking a funeral pyre with a log, going around it in a circle. His thin limbs glistening with sweat are visible from under his dhoti which has turned a dirty brown. He places a packet of ghee on top, then covers it with straw, which throws up a hissing smoke and Dhital moves back.
In the sacred precincts of the Pashupatinath Temple compound, funeral pyres like these have not stopped burning since the devastating quake. Dhital is one of the 15 men working over time at the crematorium to give those who died in the quake, a dignified farewell. He says "Usually we would get 20 bodies in a day but these days over a 100. Since the earthquake we have had 550 bodies"
These days his day begins at 6am and ends whenever the influx of the bodies stops at night. One of the hardest part of the job he says is lifting the bodies onto the pyre as each weighs over 150kgs.
An electric crematorium that could have come in handy in this hour of crisis has been in the making for the last two years at the temple compound but is lying incomplete.
With long exposure to the fire and smoke, most workers suffer from poor eyesight and respiratory problems. Dhital smiles widely flashing his one tooth, "I have been lucky to not suffer from any of these, thanks to the Gods". Pointing his finger in the direction of the revered temple.

Two Pulled Alive From Debris Five Days After Nepal EarthquakeFive days had passed since an earthquake devastated Nepal, and rescue teams had largely given up hope of finding anyone else alive among the piles of brick and broken concrete in Kathmandu. Then on Thursday, in a part of the city dense with cheap hotels and shops, rescuers turned off a mechanical shovel and - in the relative silence - heard a cry.

Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala was heckled today at a Kathmandu relief camp as angry survivors of Saturday's devastating earthquake demanded that relief coming in from foreign countries be made available to them.
Schools are shut in Nepal as many have been converted into shelters for residents. Benches are out in the open and classrooms are what many people now call home. These children are keen to get back to school but when that will happen is not certain. For now, they are happy that the slide doesn't come with any limited playtime timetable.

In decades past, after a large-scale natural disaster, the people affected and their friends and loved ones often struggled to reconnect.
But now technology and social media are transforming the ways individuals and organizations regroup after disasters and allowing people quicker access to information.
This became clear in the response to the devastating earthquake in Nepal, as technology companies deployed apps to connect people in the earthquake zone with their panicked friends and relatives. Google and Facebook are among the companies that have introduced apps designed for disasters.
