Ernie Schiller’s Rebuild Nepal Foundation makes its first trip in years to bring money and school supplies to children in Nepal at the end of April. Nepal has never fully recovered from a devastating 2015 earthquake, and the pandemic pushed recovery efforts back even further.
Joining Ernie on the trip are several students and families from Southeast Iowa. Three of them, Mason Roach, Paisley Grafton, and Sydney Jones, join us in studio. Each of them heard about the needs in Nepal at an early age and have spread the message, collected supplies, and raised funds for the effort.
British singer Paul Michael learned of the effort, and will be coming to Iowa to perform two fund-raising concerts, April 22 at Central Lee High School in Donnelson, and April 24 at the Capitol Theatre in Burlington.
