Help please…..

You must have heard about the devastating effects of the Assam & Bihar floods. Following the onset of the monsoon several weeks ago, floods in the state of Bihar and Assam have affected the lives of over 40 million people. Over two hundred persons are reported dead as a result of the flooding and there is a massive loss of homes, property and livestock. In the state of Bihar, 19 out of 38 districts are flood affected. In Assam, while flooding of the Brahmaputra is an annual occurrence, this year’s floods are particularly massive and are having a widespread impact.

Association for India’s Development Inc. (AID), a nation-wide charity with over 30 chapters, has set up a special fund for supporting relief and rehabilitation efforts in response to the devastating floods in the eastern parts of India. As a first step, AID has sanctioned $10,000 toward the fund to begin support of relief efforts. We appeal to the community at large to contribute significant additional amounts so that prompt relief and a more enduring rehabilitation effort for affected populations are possible.

Floods in India have taken seven hundred lives. Forty million people are sick or at the risk of disease, and suffering from the loss of family, property, and livelihood. Even cheap plastic tents and the most basic medicines add up to thousands of dollars.

Several non-profit organizations in the flood-affected districts have asked AID for help. AID is already reviewing their relief plans, and can ensure that your contribution will quickly reach where it is most needed.

Please give. No amount is too small. Your help can save lives.
