*URGENT APPEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS TO REACH **BIHAR***
* *
*MORE DOCTORS & PARA – MEDICS NEEDED IN AFFECTED AREAS*
*Dear Friends,*
* *
*Through our regular updates, we have repeatedly been appealing to all
of you to identify and inform us of _VOLUNTEERS AND MEDICAL
PRACTITIONERS'_ who are keen to assist with the relief activities in
the Kosi calamity affected areas of Bihar. *
* *
*We are constantly reminding you of this, as even today is a
_DESPERATE AND URGENT NEED FOR MORE _and more of them at various camps
all over. *
To this day, there are lots of villages where the Government relief
has simply not reached and thousands are lying unattended, be in the
Kumarkhand block and Murliganj area in Madhepura district or in the
camps at Raghopur and Pratapganj at Supaul district or the Ramnagar
camp in Purnia District, with an inmate capacity of about 4500, where
minimal Government services are just beginning to reach. At places
like Ramnagar, we are both mounting pressure on the Govt. as well as
trying to reach out with support from our side, considering the
urgency of the requirements. In different districts, Kosi Chunauti,
Kosi Nav Nirman Abhiyan, including NAPM, NBA, Asha Parivar,
Sathi-Cehat, Shilip Kendra, IMA etc. and Manav Seva Sanstha are
constantly engaging with the Govt. Hospital Civil Surgeon and the
District Magistrate and administration.
*Volunteers and medical support workers are needed immediately to: *
Ø Assist with the mobile clinics and medical aid work at the camps
Ø Assist with data collection and concrete survey of families in
the camps as well as on the canals.
Ø Help identify and relink missing persons and property
Ø Assist with a few educational activities for the children and
inmates at the camps
Ø Provide support to the information centre that we, along with
Swati from Parivartan and others are in the process of establishing,
for providing varied information to people.
Ø Help with relief distribution and mobilizing resources
Ø Helping with regular errands like making purchases,
documenting activities etc.
Our team of relief workers also celebrated Id along with the inmates
at the Islampur camp, located at Banmanki where the people affected in
Madhepura are staying. Activists of Asha Parivar / NAPM are working at
Bihariganj where the Government had claimed on its website that a camp
was fully functional, whereas in reality, the Govt. camp simply did
not exist! *Kosi Nav Nirman Abhiyan and other groups are also
planning to being an informal training process for para-medics and
other volunteers, in the Purnia district from the 5th of October.
including supporting anganwadi and mobile clinic activities*.
*Any of you interested or know someone who is keen to volunteer may
kindly contact the below and reach **Bihar** in the next 2-3 days.
Your involvement and assistance is awaited by hundreds of people
