We are reading,
listening and getting messages on whatsapp with regard to the situation in
Kerala wherein in very heavy rains have resulted in 10 out of 14 districts
under water; roads, railways and bridges washed away, an people have been
evacuated to camps and the challenge now is to enable these rescued people to
survive wherein even basic needs are not available.
The state has been
experiencing its worst rains since 1924 rendering more than 1.5 lakh people
displaced and death tolls increasing. People have lost their homes and life
time earnings in the flood with damage of life and property.
In Hyderabad there have
been various groups collecting funds and the other required materials to reach
to Kerala. St Francis Degree College,
Begumpet Aluminae Association has initiated a drive towards relief for Kerala
flood victims. They have identified Waynad which requires urgent help. The
students are contributing generously and one staff and the NSS students are
accompanying the truck carrying relief materials. If anyone interested to
contribute for this cause you may donate to the following address:

Young Women Christian Associations from the South West Region are
extending their support in providing people with basic amenities for which we
would like to give them our support. The roads have suffered the worst damage,
with 10,000kms of road including National and State Highways, left completely destroyed.
The railways and airlines have suspended their services too. We request you and
your family/friends to donate monetarily, as we felt that donations in kind may
not reach them in time. You may send in your cheques or online transfer before

I have been constantly
getting updates and messages of so many groups who are doing a great job, the
Navy, Army, NGO and all the other institutions and individuals reaching out to
Kerala at this time which of severe crisis.
As I am associated with both the above
mentioned groups I take this opportunity to invite all those who are reading
this post to join hands and let’s do our part.
