Earthquake Relief: An Appeal

[Guest guest]

Tulasi isa samsaara mein, sab par kijiye daaya|

Na jaanein kisa bhesa mein, Narayana mil jayen||

Dayaa dharam ka muula hai, paapa muula abhimaan|

Tulasi dayaa na chhodiye, jab tak ghat mein praana||

 

 

A killer earthquake has shaken half of Bhaarata (India) and

has reportedly killed over 845 people in a few seconds in

Gujarath. Detailed updates may be read at

I plead you to support the victims of this serious disaster.

Please send $$ donations to support these victims, as many

of you have generously done during the devastating

Orissa supercyclone. Please send your tax-deductible

donations through India Development & Relief Fund, Inc.

(IRDF), a US-based charity organization that supports relief

and development projects throughout Bhaarata.

 

The IDRF website is http://www.idrf.org

Please go to http://www.idrf.org/appeals/GujEQ/GujEQ.html

 

You may mail your checks to my address (6 Oak Tree Lane,

Franklin, MA 02038) or personally give them to me or any

IDRF volunteer you may know, and we will get them to our

local volunteer coordinator Shri Abhay Belambe or to IDRF

office to dispatch ASAP to earthquake relief work. Your

support will go a long way towards meeting the medical,

food, shelter and long-term rehabilitation needs of the

affected victims.

 

Please donate generously and make your checks payable to

IDRF. For amount over $250, we will get you a receipt from

IDRF; for smaller amounts, your cancelled checks will

suffice as receipts for IRS purposes.

 

Please kindly forward this appeal to your generous friends

and urge them to support the earthquake victims.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Yours,

-Shambhu
