*** AN APPEAL FOR DONATIONS TOWARDS CYCLONE RELIEF IN ANDHRA PRADESH ***
Dear Friends:
As you already know, the recent cyclone has devastated several areas
in the coastal Andhra Pradesh. Hardest hit and completely washed out
areas were once known as the 'granaries of the South.'
Bhagavatula Charitable Trust (BCT), Yellamanchili (AP) has dispatched
their Mobile Clinic Relief Team and Volunteers to the hardest hit areas,
Konaseema in the East Godavari District, and Kovvur in the West Godavari
District. These volunteers have had first hand experience in relief work.
You might recall that, about 7 years ago the BCT area villages were hit by
a devastating cyclone.
India Literacy Project (ILP) is sending an advance grant of $5,000.00 to
BCT in support of it's relief efforts in the two Godavari Districts.
Please send your generous donations to:
India Literacy Project
P. O. Box 2137
Hines, Illinois 60141-2137
Please write in the memo of your check, " BCT-Cyclone Relief."
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
V R Veluri
C0-Convenor, ILP
