Dear Friends,
As you have been informed earlier and are very well aware about the humongous tragedy in Bandra where a major fire broke out at Behrampada slums, Bandra (E), early Thursday morning.
It was a heartrending site to see so many people rendered homeless. Those affected have been temporarily accommodated in make-shift tents under, along the skywalk, some of them have been accommodated in huge tents constructed on the open ground adjacent to the National Girls Junior College while still some have been temporarily put up in National Girls Junior College itself. There were also quite a few who were camping on the roads.
AMP members were there for 3 days providing Relief services working in association with members of AAA Foundation the community service arm of Zodiac. They were working relentlessly to provide relief to the fire victims and a set of Mat, shirt (Zodiac branded), Maxi (night gown) for ladies and lungis for men were distributed.
As you must be aware, most of the people including many women and innocent children, have lost almost everything in fire It was quite embarrassing to see women and young girls lying on the floors and along the roads, it was extremely touching to see young children moving around aimlessly and tiny toddlers crawling around, and you couldn’t help feeling sorry for the dejected men.
At the same time, it was heartwarming to see quite a few of Relief committees working for the benefit of these Fire victims. It was observed that though quite a few organizations are helping with Food, clothes and utensils, as of now hardly any organization seemed to have donated any books. In fact National Girls College has already started its academics.
AMP has decided that we would donate a set of books including note books of 100/ 200 pages, and long books as well. The approximate cost per set comes to Rs.200. It has been observed that around 500 houses have been destroyed and some families have 2/3/4/5/6 kids as quite a few were staying together as joint families and even if take an average of 3 sets per house the approximate cost comes to Rs.3 lakhs (Rs.200 per set X 3 sets X 500 houses).
We hereby appeal every one to come forward and donate as much as they can so we can help the children of these affected families. We have been fortunate enough let us extend our compassion towards those lesser fortunate.
As we have already said, now is the time for us to show our humane side. Let us signify benevolence and show some gratitude towards our Creator and come forward to help those affected, irrespective of caste, creed or religion.
