The news is both shocking\u00a0and deeply personal for us here at Graph Paper Press:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/graphpaperpress.com\/about\/\">Chandra Maharzan<\/a>, one of our long-time WordPress theme designers, lives in Kathmandu with his wife, Rabina, and their little girl. He&#8217;s the brainchild behind some of our most popular themes, including GridSpace, Lookbook and Snaps. Chandra also donates his time as the organizer of WordCamp Nepal.<\/p>\n<p>While I have\u00a0been unable to reach\u00a0Chandra directly, I heard from his cousin that Chandra, his wife and daughter are safe. Some of their family members, however, were injured and their homes damaged in the earthquake, according to his\u00a0cousin.<\/p>\n<p>Chandra is one of the kindest, most dedicated and intelligent people I&#8217;ve ever met.\u00a0He&#8217;s a loving\u00a0father, innovative designer\u00a0and a proud Nepali. He&#8217;s been offered the opportunity to leave Nepal for business opportunities abroad, but has always declined because of his love of family and country.<\/p>\n<p>Please keep Chandra, his family, and the rest of Nepal in your thoughts and prayers and please consider donating to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/combined-donate?donationProdId=prod9150029&amp;retrieveData=1&amp;flow=oc1\">Red Cross&#8217; Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71897\" src=\"https:\/\/graphpaperpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1292831_10151334849140996_1829916109_o-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"1292831_10151334849140996_1829916109_o\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graphpaperpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1292831_10151334849140996_1829916109_o-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/graphpaperpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1292831_10151334849140996_1829916109_o-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/graphpaperpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/1292831_10151334849140996_1829916109_o.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: I spoke with Chandra on Tuesday of this week and he, his wife and daughter are okay.
