Dear Readers and Visitors,

You have probably already read or heard about the devastating fire in Darjeeling on Feb 1st. This occurred in the Bara Kakjhora area and the fire completely destroyed 4 houses and have left 13 families homeless.

There are local relief efforts on to help out the affected families but I feel that we should help too. Wherever we are. Every little bit will count.

So we have started this fund drive to help the affected families. All the money raised will be sent to “Koseli Sangh”, a local social organization that is spearheading the relief efforts.

Please contribute generously to help out the affected families rebuild their lives. The fire took place at 1:30am and the residents of the houses just barely escaped unhurt. However they had no time to salvage valuables and belongings. So every bit helps to assist in the rebuilding efforts.

You can contribute securely via credit cards or via Paypal by clicking on the link below. www.chipin.com will securely and transparently collect your contributions.

Remember, every bit helps, and we have the advantage of the large population of diaspora. If every reader of this site can contribute even just $5, it will go a long way towards helping our people in need.

Disclosure:One of the affected houses is that of my relatives. So it is personal! However all the funds raised through this fundraising effort will be sent directly to “Koseli Sangh” and will benefit all the affected households. Thank You very much for your generosity and your continued readership.

Warm regards
