Guest guest Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 We have updated the VEdics Tsunami Project blog with the latest status. Please visit http://vedicstsunamiproject.blogspot.com for details. I have cut & pasted the text portions to this email. ---- dear all,The Vedics Tsunami Help Project is nearing completion. The following are the key items of work/help being done currently(i) A new fiberglass boat, high quality fishing net and a good motor have been bought to provide to a group of families in a fishing colony in chennai. These were on order for a couple of months now, and they were being manufactured. You can see pictures of the boat, net and the motor iif you scroll down in this blog.(ii) A small Srinivasa perumal sannadhi is being built in the colony, upon request of the people there. The temple frame can be seen also if you scroll down.(iii) Once the boat is fitted with the motor and things are finalized, there will be a handover ceremony. We will post pictures of the ceremony after it happens.(iv) The srinivasa perumal sannadhi is likely to take another month or so to complete. We will post pictures as and when more work is done. We are currently a bit short of funds for this, and are figuring out our plan of action.The total cost of the above 4 items so far has been around $3600 dollars, with pending work of about $1000 left to do.Summary of Tsunami help done so far(i) provision of notebooks/books for schoolchildren in affected areas - Jan/Feb '05(ii) provision of drinking water pots to a whole colony in chennai - Jan '05(iii) provision of miscellaneous help (food, clothing etc.) as needed - minor work, but done in a few areas(iv) provision of fishing equipment (boat, net, motor) to a few families - in progress(v) provision of a new srinivasa perumal sanandhi in a fishing colony - in progressWe thank all of our donors and volunteers that have helped us through this so far.
