Vietnamese family reflects, Nepal earthquake, Bobby Fuller

Vietnamese family from Southern California reflects on the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, a check-in with a man from Nepal after the devastating earthquake, Bobby Fuller.

Nepalese residents walks past road damage following an earthquake in Kathmandu on April 26, 2015. International aid groups and governments intensified efforts to get rescuers and supplies into earthquake-hit Nepal on April 26, 2015, but severed communications and landslides in the Himalayan nation posed formidable challenges to the relief effort. As the death toll surpassed 2,000, the US together with several European and Asian nations sent emergency crews to reinforce those scrambling to find survivors in the devastated capital Kathmandu and in rural areas cut off by blocked roads and patchy phone networks.
