Earthquake Rehabilitation - Help Required

December 28, 2004

Dear All,

I write to you all on Tuesday morning - in light of the tsunami calamity that

struck the southern coast of India day before yesterday.

As you might know, the latest estimates put the toll at over 9,500 people with

over 45,000 people still missing. This calamity had caught thousands of people

unawares, with nowhere to run.

In this context, I request your kind help to rehabilitate people. This may be

in any kind which can be sent across at the below mentioned address. Few of my

colleagues are going to Southern parts of India as volunteers and am also

coordinating the logistics from New Delhi, India. This is just voluntary help

and you are free to decide whether you want to help or not.

Needless to say, the work involved would be dirty, strenuous and could also be

hazardous. However, given that every minute of work could help save valuable

lives, every kind of help would be worth it.

While I write to you, we are already trying to mobilize Medical Aid on behalf of

Ranbaxy, where I work.

Whoever is willing to be a part of this effort, please let me know so we could

join hands (I am volunteering myself). Please also let me know in case you would

like to help in any other way besides/apart from being a part of a relief team.

This initiative would be a completely on a personal level and therefore,

volunteers might have to seek leave in order to be part of the rescue efforts.

Best regards,

Prakash Kandpal
