RAHAT RELIEF

The Uttarakhand flood lasted for the past few days and has already claimed more than 822 lives. Many people are dying as we read this article. More people have been injured & have lost all their belongings. The Disaster Management Department, Army & Air force are all being employed in the rescue missions. Apart from the government agencies; many Non-Governmental organizations also take part in the relief and rehabilitation of the victims.

As “RELIEF” efforts are one of the primary objectives of Gnana Deepam Trust, We have now started a project, “Rahat Relief” to provide a better rehabilitation for the flood affected people. The project is aimed at collecting necessary materials from all the active regions of GDT. The collected materials will be accumulated and sent to Uttarakhand via Goonj (www.goonj.org) and Chennai Cares (www.chennai-cares.blogspot.in). This project is possible only by (y)our active participation. Through Gnana Deepam Trust, we request you to donate generously and help a better life for everyone. Currently they require,

    

·   Blankets

·   Cooking Utensils

·   Medicines

·   Candles

·   Tent making materials

·   Tarpaulins

·   Monetary funds

Donations can also be deposited to our trust’s bank account.

P.S: For now, Goonj has already sent excess of food materials and clothes. So, please send the items requested above. If you are unable to collect the mentioned items and could collect only clothes or food, please let us know about that too. We can always help those who need clothes and food from other areas. Even in this very second, someone near us is struggling hard to get the food and clothes for themselves.
