Subject: Re: South Asia Earthquake Awareness (a moment of your time)
Friends,
With the start of the New Year (despite waning media coverage), let
us remember the plight of those suffering from the South Asian
earthquake.
Harsh winter in the Himalayan region is causing a second wave of
deaths. To date, over 3 Million homeless...160,000+ dead/
injured...an entire generation of children wiped out…
I encourage you to take 5 minutes to view an earthquake video that
was shown at the International Donors' Conference in Pakistan that
gives some sense of the situation at http://www.serendip.tv/
earthquake.htm
Please keep the message alive and pass this on to others.
For those interested in taking action, the email below outlines an
opportunity to support this cause further.
Khadija

Subject: Message from SAQUAKE.ORG - Support earthquake relief and
raise awareness - buy earthquake relief bands
Dear Friends:
We are writing to let you know about a new initiative that saquake.org
is participating in, to help raise awareness of the recent South Asian
Earthquake. A group of people in Boston have ordered green wrist bands
and key chains which are inscribed on the outside with "EARTHQUAKE
RELIEF. Oct. 8th, 2005". This is aimed at raising awareness about the
earthquake relief needs in general, as well as raising crucial funds
that will be used in the earthquake affected areas of Pakistan. The
funds raised through this initiative will be donated to
Developments in
Literacy (DIL), a member organization of our alliance, to set-up
and run
much needed camp schools in Mansehra (NWFP). DIL also has plans to
start
a primary school project in this area once the villagers start
building
more permanent homes.
Each band/key ring can be ordered for a donation of $5 each, plus
shipping & handling. Please visit our website at www.saquake.org, and
under the "DIL's fund-raising campaign for schools" section, click on
wristbands/ key-chains. This will take you to the saquake2005 website,
where you can place your order.
Please show your support for the earthquake relief efforts by wearing
the green band, and please spread the word to your friends &
family. You
can also order the bands in bulk and sell them through schools, health
clubs, work place, etc.
Regards
SAQUAKE.ORG
