Funds will support rebuilding of homes in Kumari, after the earthquake that hit the Hi- malayan nation in late April and early May. Peter Marbach of Hood River, who has spent time in Kumari, said it costs just $280 to rebuild a home for a family of 10 or more in Kumari. The $280 purchases locally-sourced tin which families will use for a more permanent roofing to put on patched up stone and bam- boo structures. Marbach will announce what was raised at 7 p.m. on May 27 before a book signing with Janet Cook at the Columbia Center for the Arts. ■ The window on Nepal opens a bit wider this month follow- ing the terrible events in that country.
