[Reader-list] Urgent appeal for Rahat Floods- Karnataka, A.P & Maharashtra

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Dear Friends, 




Thanks for an overwhelming support to VASTRA-SAMMAN during the Joy of 
Giving week. Even before the campaign ended the horror of the massive 
floods sweeping Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka & Maharashtra started 
unfolding before us. 




This is an URGENT APPEAL to join GOONJ in its campaign ‘RAHAT FLOODS’ 
to provide support to the victims of one of the worst floods in the 
last hundred years. The situation is grim and
millions of people are affected by the devastation.


GOONJ has been working extensively in disaster relief for many years 
now. During the devastating Bihar floods last year, with large-scale 
civic participation, GOONJ channelised about 1500 tonnes of material. 
More recently, in Cyclone Aila in West Bengal, we were again actively 
involved in relief operations.




With a wide network of organizations and people present in most of the 
affected districts we are confident of reaching relief at the earliest 
possible. While the dispatch of
material has already started the need based relief efforts will 
continue for the next few months.
