Dear All,
As we all know, the entire north Karnataka and parts of coastal and
Malnad regions are in the grip of one of the worst natural disasters
the State has witnessed in a long time.
The floods that have followed the torrential rains have brought
unprecedented misery to lakhs of people.
It has been in the form of death of many of their loved ones,
destruction of houses, properties, crops and loss of most of their
belongings.
The State has also suffered huge losses with the washing away of
roads, bridges, railway tracks and other public properties. Rescue,
relief and rehabilitation operations for the affected people are a
gigantic task and it will take weeks, if not months. In this hour of
human tragedy, we can do our bit to support the hapless people as the
governments efforts alone are not adequate.
As flood relief in the Karnataka continues, I request all BOD members
and Kannada koota presidents to co-ordinate and work with people in
your area to raise emergency Flood Recovery fund for those who are
affected by the floods in our home state of Karnataka.
Lot of our brothers and sisters back home are devastated and suffering
with no food, no power, no drinking water and no basic amenities. AKKA
will make sure these funds would be utilized to safeguard lives, put
their lives back together and provide rehabilitation.
Let us all put our hearts together and take the initiative to send a
generous donation today. We cannot do it alone but together we can
make a difference. Even a small contribution by each, makes a big
amount as we all know - "Hani Hani Koodidre Halla".
Donations will be accepted by CHECK or Credit Card.
Please help us by sending your donations payable to "AKKA FLOOD RELIEF FUND" and mail to the following address
AKKA FLOOD RELIEF FUND

Egg harbor township, NJ 08234
Sincerely,
