Hello
all:
As you may have
probably read, the floods have devastated large areas of the state. Just as some
parts are recovering, Fanoos threatens to undo all attempts at moving back to
normalcy. Unfortunately, people are not as excited to help as they were when
Tsunami struck. That is in line with the way we perceive disasters, and
with the abjectly dismal coverage of such events by the media. In any case,
after the current cyclonic depression Fanoos leaves, there will be much damage
in its wake, and many men, women and children out in water. AID is an
organisation that I know of that is capable of delivering meaningful relief with
an understanding of relief as a right of the victims rather than in the charity
mindset of many other organisations.
