Mayor Hickey said more than 250+ people gathered to pay their respects to the victims as well as share a prayer of hope for the many people still missing and unaccounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe extent of this natural disaster has sent shockwaves around the world, and its impact has been acutely felt in our community which many Nepalese people now call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of Glenorchy City Council I convey our deepest sympathy to anyone who has been impacted by this terrible event and offer our support and mateship to the broader Nepalese community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Nepalese community is a very active and proud community within the City of Glenorchy, and last night\u2019s vigil demonstrated how many people are feeling a sense of grief and loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith such large-scale devastation, the coming days and weeks loom as an extremely difficult period, and I want those people who are impacted by this event to know we are standing with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Tasmanians, we know what it is like to have to recover from natural disasters. We know that task is easier when we do it together, shoulder-to-shoulder, and I want the Nepalese community to know that we are standing right beside them through this tragedy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
