Seetharaman lives in Kumbakonam a town close to Thiruvarur which has suffered intense damage due to cyclonic storm Nisha.
The pictures posted to this blog have been sent to me by Seetharaman, it is through him that we hope to reach out to the poor and needy who have been affected by the storm.
The contents of the mail reproduced below is self explanatory.
Dear sir,
I want to express my appreciation and thanks for your interest shown on my previous mail
regarding funding to our village people affected by flood.
It will cost around Rs50000 to 65000 to build one new concrete house in simple budget
( for each one ) for home affected people.The real situation is that the side mud walls and roof-thatches of the house have been damaged very badly.So, it is viable to help them by providing thatches and related construction materials .This will help them to make their house ready for living .Each family needs 250 thatches ,4 kg of coir rope and 25 nos of coir twine( called as PALAI in Tamil) for complete renovation.
Cost of 100 nos of thatch Rs 275#
Cost of 1 kg of Coir rope Rs 45#
Cost of 1 no coir twine Rs1.60
Cost of materials per family
Cost of 250 thatches Rs 688#
Cost of 4 kg coir rope Rs 180#
Cost of 25 nos coir twine Rs 44#
Total Rs 912#
The cost of materials per family comes around Rs912#. With your generous funding,
we can help accordingly. I can arrange for door delivery of all the materials.Let me know
the procedures to be adopted during disbursement.I have attached some of the photos showing the pathetic situation of the people.
Thanks
Your"s sincerely,
Seetharam,
