Kalyan Relief Work Conducted on 3rd August 2005

Aug 12, 2005 15:10

I had being to Kalyan for relief work on 9th of August, along with The Tejashvi group, it was the second visit of the group to Kalyan. Due to water rushing in from the dams a lot of water had entered the areas around Kalyan, killing many and destroying everything that the people had. It was a horrible scence to tackle people. All were gathering around us and asking for help. As we had limited resources we could not help everyone. Felt very sad for them. But was happy that I could atleast help some.

CAN YOU HELP US IN ANY WAY was the first question those people asked us.

I have got some pics of our first visit 3rd August, like to share it.
