Food for life for the Tsunami victims I 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.
