Tsunami relief efforts

Br. Dayamrita Chaitanya

Amma is in the midst of serving the villagers. She is also directing all the volunteer efforts (the only one that is available to the villagers, which are the worst hit people in Kerala). There are 6 AIMS ambulances going around and also some mobile medical clinics administering the needs of the disaster victims.

The extent of the disaster is yet to be known. Many people from the village are still missing. 15,000 villagers have been housed at Amma's Engineering College in Vallikavu. The residents of the ashram foregoing food and sleep are serving them.

Even though the water has receded, many villagers do not know where to go, for their houses have been completely washed away. There are also the looming danger of yet another Tsunami. Brahmacharis and devotees are also serving in the other disaster stricken areas like Chennai, Kanyakumari and other parts in India.

Regarding the relief efforts a special fund is being set up here in the U.S according to the wishes of many who want to do contribute in any way that they can.This will include Antibiotics, iv tubes, and disaster supplies like the first aid kits etc. However, if we donate money rather than in kind, this can be used either for medicine or rebuilding homes, wherever necessary.

The devotees in California have pledged to rebuild the Parayakadavu village surrounding Amritapuri.

I would take a moment to appreciate all your concern and compassion. Thank you.

Namah Sivaya,
Dayamrita
