Bihar Flood Relief – Your Contribution will save
life<http://biharfloodrelief2008.blogspot.com/2008/08/bihar-flood-relief-your-contribution.html>
Bihar is facing its worst ever disaster in recent times and the *koshi
floods* (river of sorrow) has ravaged the lives of millions (almost 50 lakh
people) in the state. It's impossible to even estimate the magnitude of the
damage caused, lives that has been lost in the last few days as millions are
stranded in marooned areas where no relief effort has reached.

Folks who have been carrying out rescue operations in the state have been in
touch and the situation on ground is really heart wrenching. We are trying
to supply some relief material and work with the agencies and NGO's to
provide support.

*What is our focus?*
Our focus is on providing clean water, Life Jacket and Plastic sheet for
temporary shelter. Availability of clean drinking water is necessary to
prevent any epidemic breakdown. Your donations are required for buying
medicines & Plastic. You can also help us in purchasing these medicines by
providing contacts.
These medicines will be delivered to Chandan Singh who is part of our team
and based out of Patna. Chandan will take care of its further distribution.
Distribution will be through some of the good NGOs working in the relief
operations.

*People behind this initiative*
