As he watched the recent carnage unfold in Nepal — earth movers climbing mountains of wreckage, rescuers sifting through rubble for survivors — Brenau University professor Humnath Panta feared for the lives of his family. Like many others, the Nepal native saw the recent news coverage of damage inflicted on his former home country after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake claimed the lives of at least 4,600 people and left thousands more injured.Born in Eastern Nepal, Panta moved to the Northeast Georgia area 11 years ago. Much of his family, however, still resides in Kathmandu.
