Imbued with the feelings of self-confidence, care, and spirit of help, the people of Nepal became a united force to face the most horrific consequences of the earthquake. The terrible seismic waves shattered Nepal; however, the same waves galvanize the spirit of help and care among the people.

Social activist Bishnu Maya Pariyar says that his own home cracked, but he decided first to help the people who have lost their homes. He decided to build four hundred houses. The seismic waves were not able to deter his determination to help and support his people. Dr. Bhakta Bahadur Shrestha, Dr. BinodSherchan, and Dr. Sanjaya Bikran Shrestha were carrying out a surgery in the hospital when the building started to tremble badly. However, they didn’t run out of the operation theater to save their own lives. The book contains several examples of such heroes who without caring for their own lives saved lives of other people.

Being the citizen and inhabitant of a country, we are all part of a certain community. We have responsibilities for our nation and our motherland. The book demonstrates how the people of Nepal transcended their responsibilities for humanity. Because of fervent desire to help their people, many Nepalese residing in other countries went to Nepal.
