EMERGENCY Contact Information for Families of Team Members

This information is for those who need to have an emergency contact with a team member while in he/she is in Nepal.

Please note time differences when making calls (the times below already takes into account Daylight Savings Time):

1) Americus, Georgia (GV headquarters) is on Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
2) For Nepal, from the East Coast, you have to add 10 hours and 45 minutes (ie: at 8am, Saturday morning in New York, it is 6:45pm in Nepal). Do not be confused by the fact that the time differences are not even hours. In parts of India and Nepal, there are actually 15 minute time zones.

Contacting Manisha, the Global Village host coordinator in Nepal, is what you should try first:(country code number included):
1) Nepal Habitat office at 977-1-4432801, 4432582
