An appeal for help Dear friend I am Sisir Kumar Pathy, a member of Samyak Samanata. I have sent this mail to you with a request and lots of hope. As you may be aware a slum named Bali Uparsahi Basti has been demolished by the local govt. without providing any rehabilitation to the slum residents. Now the children, men, women and their babies and grandparents; all are homeless and hopeless. For the past 1 week they are staying there with no roof over their head, under the open sky in this chilling month of November. Even we dont know, when was the last time they ate properly. You may be having lots of questions in your mind; whether they were staying there legally or illegally or whether the demolishing was legal or illegal and several other such questions. Even I dont know the proper answer to these questions. But what I know is school going children have become street beggars, happy families have been turned into homeless people, people are in unspeakable miseries. Hence as a social organization, moreover as human beings, we have decided to provide them polythene tent cloths so that at least they can build temporary tent houses till the crisis is going. The slum people only requested us to provide this and we said yes to them. After little enquiry from the shops we found each piece of cloth will cost Rs.100. There are more than 1000 people living in 350 families. As it wont be possible for us to provide 350 cloths which will cost more than Rs.35,000, so we decide to provide 200 pieces worth Rs.20,000. We have to arrange this Rs.20,000 apart from our normal monthly expenses for our Ashram and children. So I request you to contribute some money for this purpose. It will be even good if you can spread this message to some of your other friends who can help us in this. You can send the money to the same Samyak Samanata SBI account which is: Name - Sisir Kumar Pathy Account No - 20075209224 IFSC - SBIN0012022 State Bank Of India, Baramunda Branch, Bhubaneswar, Odisha With Hopes Sisir Kumar Pathy A member of Samyak Samanata Ph: 08939343988, 09776750738
