Bihar Flood Relief - Update from Ground Zero

Every flood affected district has mega 100’s camps running. Situation is improving. Our team is in touch with AOL (Art of Living) and Mandan Bharthi Jagriti samaj camp. But these operations are still restricted to urban areas. Other team is constantly looking at essential requirements that we can provide based on need and our capacity.

Now in addition to water purification tablets, essential medicines and baby milk powder we has decide to provide cloths for adolescent children, specially girls. We are concentrating on essential needs of women’s and children and team will take call based on the assessment of ground situation.

Today Guneshwar Ji (along with his friend) is going to Saharsha from Patna. They are carrying about 500 piece of cloths for children’s and baby milk powder. Guneshwar Ji will visit Mandan Bharthi Jagrithi Samaj relief camp at Saharsa today. We are expecting more requirements from Guneshwar Ji by end of the day.

Thanks to Guneshwar Ji and his friend for coming all the way from Ahmedabad and joining the team at ground.
Regards,
Vivek
