Winter Might Turn Out to be a Bigger Killer than the Earthquake

You are aware of the catastrophic earthquake in South Asia. Hundreds of villages in Jammu and Kashmir were destroyed. Many remote areas still await help. Casualty figures run into thousands of dead and wounded. With the advent of the bitter Himalayan winter many thousands will die if we do not help.

ACTIONS REQUESTED

Call the President and Prime Minister of India to increase aid efforts and to get the Indian business and relief organizations to help the earthquake victims as robustly as they helped the Gujarat earthquake victims.

3) Involve your neighbors, colleagues and local civic organizations and charities in this campaign.
