I wanted to know, whom should I contact
to find out why the ration and cash relief is given to people who have
ration cards only and not to others, though they live side by side?
Can we go to Pest control of India and
other such pest control companies and ask them to disinfect slum dwellers'
houses?
I need few volunteers to collect
the data from these slums in Kandivali (E).

| IAHV is an
organization that is conducting volunteer work for the Mumbai Flood victims
in Agarpada, Vakola and Kalina districts of Mumbai. They are primarily working
in a slum that houses nearly 20,000 shanties accommodating over 200,000
people. The wall that acts as a fence between the slum community and the Mumbai airport broke down on July 26th, 2005 with the force of the floods and several houses were swamped, washed away and also several people lost their lives. IAHV is collecting medicines, bed sheets, blankets, grains at a storage center in Vakola. Volunteers are needed to segregate these items and transport these items to the slums and help in distribution of the same. Also a medical camp is being started on Saturday August 6th 2005. If you would like to volunteer please contact IAHV and speak to Alpa at 9820334944. Aug 16, 2005 |
| 100 volunteers
have been on the field in the last few days thanks to a joint effort by
UNICEF - Rotaract - TISS. They are distributing chlorine, soap, and
high-protein biscuits. They will be 2000 volunteers today. The aim is to
have 30,000 volunteers by Tuesday and one lakh volunteers by Friday. So please put together a team of volunteers and call 55740096 which is the number of the 24x7 Control Room of UNICEF. 1000+ litre dustbins are also needed. Monetary donations are also required. To understand the gravity of the situation, one should go to Kurla and see and inform others. Aug 13, 2005 |

| The flood
situation has resulted in a cancellation of Blood Donation Drives by all
Blood Banks. Unless measures are taken, this could stretch the blood position
very thin. The need of the hour is to identify corporates who can organise
Drives in their offices. Also residential societies, who can organise Drives.
These are very easy to organise and do not require major planning in terms
of time. We will organise all aspects of the Drive, once the location (office/residential
area/any other place) has been identified. Vinay Shetty 98201 46448 sterpa@vsnl.com [A list of Blood Banks is in the Flooding Section in www.karmayog.com . If any data is missing or incorrect, pl do inform.] |
| I contacted
the BMC and they asked our help in distributing chlorine or any other tablets
to houses to make BMC water safe for drinking. They also needed volunteers
to disinfect the places from where the rubbish is removed by BMC. Those
who want to help can get in touch with DMC, Zone II, Andheri directly or
through me. Lion Luthria G B (gbluthria@yahoo.com) President, Lions Club of Mumbai Su Jok.- 9322274382, 26206243 For information on Sujok Acupressure please visit - http://www.geocities.com/sujok_healing/Sujok_info1.html |

Hospital Needs EMS volunteers at Mira Road Bhaktivedanta Hospital Health Forum (BHHF) needs honourary EMS (Emergency Medical Service) male & female volunteers. The EMS was first of it's kind of service (in India?) started at Mira Road in November 2001 with the help of Bhaktivedanta Hospital by BHH Forum. Bhaktivedanta Hospital has provided us with 24 hours ambulance, a Doctor and a Nurse. We had 60 volunteers from the different localities of Mira road. Volunteers were trained by Red Cross for First Aid & by Hospital for providing moral support to patient relatives after shifting patient. Patient could got to any Hospital of his choice up to Andheri in the same ambulance with Doctor & Nurse. One had to call 28112233 (phone for EMS) Bhaktivedanta Hospital in emergency. Immediately Operator on duty use to call a volunteer who is residing nearest to the patient. If the first volunteer was not available call use to go to next volunteer, like wise. EMS Volunteer was the person to arrive first to patient. During the tenure of 18 months we had attended 76 emergencies. Most of the calls were during night hours. I and my daughter were volunteers and attended many emergencies. When we used to attend these emergencies the patient & his/her relatives use to treat us as if angel arrived. The experience we enjoyed is not explainable here unless one attends some emergency as a volunteer. However the service were discontinued due to closure of Bhaktivedanta Hospital in August 2003. The hospital is working in full swing now. We are planning to start EMS again. Volunteer will not get any remuneration in any kind. Those who living around Mira Road are interested may email me or contact. We also invite members to join Bhaktivendanta Hospital Health Forum.

| By now, we
all are aware of the situation in Mumbai, which has been caused by the rain
havoc broken by nature on July 26, 2005. Rains completely disrupted the
life of the people as they coincided with the high tide in the sea. Hundreds of people have died; several others have been rendered homeless. The aftermath has not sopped as we still hear the false rumors which people are falling prey too. There is urgent need that we should act now. We have launched an appeal to help raise emergency medical supplies, clothing and to provide basic necessities to the people affected by the nature fury. This appeal will also help support rehabilitation work in the weeks and months to come for those whose everything has been destroyed specially in the areas of Kurla, Saki Naka, Anna Bhau Sathe Nagar, New Mandala Mankhurd, Kannawar Nagar, Ambujwadi, Jogeshwari and others. You can help in rebuilding lives – Make generous donations (Cheque/cash/Demand Draft) in the name of “Socio Legal Information Centre”. Send us medicines, blankets, clothes, anything, which can be useful. Volunteering – We will need volunteers in relief and rehabilitation work Medical Advice – urgent appeals to all the Doctors – Please contact us for volunteering to provide free medical advice. Contact us and let us know in what other ways you can contribute. Urgently contact – Deepa or Zubeida @ 23439651 / 23436692 In Solidarity, Dr. Prabhjot Kaur India Centre for Human Rights and Law training@ichrl.org |
