Tidal wave disaster in sri lanka... help needed

[Guest guest]

Dear Maharaj/ Prabhus/ Matajis

 

PLease accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

THis is an urgent request.

 

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.

 

Sri Lanka being an island, all three coastal sides of the country was

affected. You would have seen the disaster on tv.

Iskcon Sri lanka is making arrangements to provide prasadam to the refugees.

We are also planning to distribute milk powder etc for the children. We

already started collecting rice, dal and other rations. We are planning to

start cooking and distributing from tommorow.

 

We need assistance from our international ISKCON Centers and devotees also

for this humanitarian service. Please donate generously for this cause and

inform your friends to donate for this purpose.
