On the fourth day of the JGW 2011, we copy below an appeal from Goonj, that is also spearheading the Vastra Samman campaign and has been doing so in the past also. The people of Sikkim and Orissa need help and rather than just donate just about anything, as we did during the Tsunami, it would be helpful to go through the requirements before donating. Meanwhile, in other news the JGW is doing much better than the previous years and we hope more are helped this year.
Mail from Goonj :
Some of the urgent requirements are-
Material- Tarpaulins, mosquito nets, Dry ration ( primarily-rice, pulses, biscuits ) blankets and woolens, clothes (especially sarees & bedsheets), cooking utensils, buckets, torch and batteries, umbrellas, basic medicines, crutches, candles and lanterns, feeding bottles, rope
. Also- Old flex banners, mats, sponsorship for sanitary pads.
Transport- to the effected areas, packing material- primarily gunny bags.
Monetary contributions- for logistics and essential purchases. (All monetary contributions are tax exempted u/s 80G) please click- http://goonj.org/?page_id=708 for the easiest option to transfer the money.
Join the campaign, do spread the word.. Use your face book, twitter, e-mail and websites to spread the message, volunteer- to organize camps, sort/ pack material and for the field.
