Laying down plans

We seem to be making so many plans, yes, the earlier plans were for provision of emergency relief and now plans are being made for serious rehabilitation. The devastation has been of such magnitude in the State of Tamilnadu that over 168,000 families have been completely displaced and many more thousands have lost most of their property.

In a matter of 15 minutes so much was lost on the day after Christmas last year. While the images of the damages left behind by the Tsunami fade form the minds of most people, we need to keep them afresh so we do not forget the people who continue to suffer.

A small team will be formed this evening toexamine the various proposals and then decide the further course of action. The club will keep in mind the following:
1. The need of the people
2. Government help
3. Feasibility
4. Sustainability
5. Funding

There will be more news about our plans on this blog in the days to come.
