Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to inform you that there is the biggest flood ever in Bihar in India (one of the poorest states in India). Many people have lost their lives. Millions have lost their homes and other belongings and have sheltered here and there. Hundreds of thousands of people in flood-ravaged Bihar trudged or took a ride on any means of transport to escape the waters of the turbulent Kosi river as government agencies and the army evacuated more than 300,000 marooned people by Saturday.     

They are in urgent need of food and medical assistance. Many are dieing or may die because of hunger or proper medical treatment. The prime minister of India has declared it a national calamity and released fund for the flood victims. The state government has issued an appeal to relief agencies to step in and help get relief to the flood-affected. However, many affected people say they have not received any government help.

Many other agencies have also announced fund assistance for these people.

We have also planned to send a team of 12 volunteers which include doctor, cook and other relief workers. We are looking for an agency which can sponsor our team under its banner. We are sure to provide best possible relief work in given resources.  We have well motivated volunteer team eager to help human kind.

We have planned to establish a camp in the area sheltered by flood victims. We will start a catering there and provide food to these people. We will have a doctor in our team who will look after the patients.

Things which are Urgently Required

1.     Plastic tent

2.     Food packs for 2-4 weeks and nutritional supplement to the severely malnourished children, women and men, pregnant mothers.

3.     Safe packed drinking water

4.     Halazone tablets for disinfecting potable water

5.     Food grains

6.     Essential medicines (nutritional supplement, Halazone tablets, ORS packets etc.)

The agencies or individuals willing to sponsor our relief team may sent above things to us or they can send fund directly for the above things in favour of

We will send back pictures and all the details of our relief work.

OR

If there is an agency already working there, needs volunteers we will send our team of volunteers to assist the agency.

Please respond as soon as possible. We will highly appreciate your response.

Thanks
