The death toll from the massive earthquake in Nepal is now above 7,600 and climbing.

More than 14,000 people were injured and thousands are still missing.

Thousands more have been left homeless after the quake destroyed or devastated more than 350,000 homes.
    
CBN Disaster Relief teams have been on the scene since just after the quake struck, providing humanitarian aid and medical help for people in need.

Recently, a team visited one of 10 schools in all of Nepal that offers an education to students who are visually impaired.

CBN had the unique opportunity to minister and provide medical care to nine children and seven adults who suffer from severe visual impairments.

The earthquake caused serious damage to the government-owned facility that has yet to be repaired.

Amidst all the trauma, CBN was able put a smile on the students faces as they provided blankets and food relief.

The CBN Relief Team asks for continued prayers for their relief work in Nepal.
