我們專心做一件事，就是為偏遠較窮困、較大型組織未所到達的地方及村落提供基本的臨時庇護所。

一般在災難或突發事件中，小型自發志願組織擔當「補位」角色。部分偏遠地區的資訊並不流通而且受災情況差異大，難以準備評估。因此，機動性強的本地領袖及義工去評估災情及需要十分重要。小型組織通常在評估、採購、派發等較少行政程序，讓資源更有效率到達有需要的人身上。

SUN 只是一個臨時的支持平台，期望於8/2015雨季後完成所有援助工作。全體工作人員為不受薪義工，除簡單的郵寄及滙款開支外，募集的款項全數用於提供庇護所。

(4.6.2015) After overcoming different hurdles, we finally distributed 111 bundles of zinc sheets to 94 families in Ward 7-9, Saydul, Dhussa VDC, Dhading and Ward 9, Siureuitar, Ghyalchok VDC, Gorkha yesterday. Unfortunately we couldn't distribute the material to 21 families in another village waiting for the jasta pata as the whole truck including our 24 bundles is kept by government official reportedly. We will find our way to get the job done asap. We will provide more details about the trip yesterday soon. For now, you can check out the photos and the descriptions, you will get a sense about our trip yesterday. Big thanks to Madhav Nepal from Mosaic Adventure again, and other local volunteers helping us yesterday.

Chuen Man shares his volnteering experience at Saraswati Multiple Campus, Kathmandu. Though it is called a 'camp', 'open space' seems to be a more proper word to describe.

'There were too many people cramped under one or two tarps. There were still spaces to set up more tarps to ease the situation, but the occupants did not have extra tarps. It is hard to believe that they couldn’t even afford to buy a tarp which would cost them about Rp1600 (US$16.00) for the cheapest. The explanations are that some really do not have the money, some rather use the money for food and bear this undesirable sleeping environment.'
