By Deepak Kumar | Chairperson PFECT
Hi
My name is Deepak and I am the chairperson of People First. Unfortunately this appeal (which does not happen often on Global Giving) it is fair to say this paticular appeal has not raised to date as much as we had hoped. Notwithstanding the terrible events in Nepal and their obvious need for much assistance several dozen people died here in Bihar, families lost houses, income earners and livelihoods. There has been some government assistance offered to those affected but this has been patchy and insufficient to cover the losses incurred by many families.
However I want you to know we have done what we can.
Our staff gave some of their wages, and even our schoolchildren gave a few pennies each to help their fellow Bihari’s. We visited the area and were able to give some immediate assistance in the form of mosquito nets and medicines for children to help them recover from their injuries. The situation has now moved from immediate relief to long term assistance, this includes replacing livestock and repairing broken homes.
Hopefully due to your help we will be able to offer further assistance and I thank you for your donations.
We have decided to keep the appeal open for another three months in the hope that we can raise more funds which will go in its entirety to those affected by this natural disaster.
With Warm Best Wishes.
Deepak
