Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Dear list members Ref: Gujarat Relief work. Various bodies in London have been working hard and have started collecting and sending funds, medicine & clothes to India. (1) One of the bodies (I have been working with on Hinduism) is called SKLPC - Sri katch leva patidar samaj. They had meetings in London at their samaj place in Northolt and also at their temple in Kenton. Each gathering has produced over 100,000 pounds donations. A lot of youngsters have already departed for Gujarat hoping to help with medical and other needs. More information can be obtained by emailing Sat.School (2) Sewa International India Quake Appeal Registered Charity No : 267309 26th January 2001 Gujarat Earthquake devastates major cities & villages.

We all have to do our best and help in this task. Most of our list members are scattered round the world and may be contributing through their local charitable bodies. We request all to participate.. We send our prayers that the suffering people of Gujarat are given the strength to bear the anguish they are feeling right now.
