Juneau Teens for Change is a group of high school students preparing to help in the relief efforts in Nepal. In April of 2015, a major earthquake shook Nepal, killing 9,000 people and injuring hundreds of thousands. The Juneau teens will be rebuilding schools in Kathmandu, the largest city in the country with over 1 million residents.
