Food for life - Tsunami vicitms relief program... urgent request!

 

 

Food for life for the Tsunami victims . Urgent request

 

 

This is an urgent request!

 

ISKCON Sri Lanka is providing cooked prasadam (food) for the tsunami victims.

The victims are desperate. They have no facility to cook food. They have no

place, they have no utensils and it is a necessity for us to provide them with

cooked food. We have started with about 5000 plates per day. We are also

planning to distribute milk powder etc for the children. We already started

collecting rice, dal and other rations.

 

Sri Lanka is the worst affected by the recent earthquake in Sumatra (Indonesia)

and the subsequent tidal wave which has affected many countries in this region.

The tide was 40ft high and more than 11000 people are reported dead and many

thousands are missing. Over a million are refugees. Most of the refugees are

women and orphan babies and children. The refugees have taken shelter in

hospitals, schools and temples. Hospitals have been washed out along with the

patients and doctors. To continue this, we need assistance and we have to also

go to different affected areas. We are starting with Trincomalee and it is the

worst affected area in Sri Lanka.

 

100% of the donations will be given to the tsunami victims. We will also supply

medical items, sleeping mats, bed sheets etc as we receive.

 

We need assistance from you also for this humanitarian service. Please donate

generously for this cause and inform your friends to donate for this purpose.

Contact us for further information.
