Usually, mother nature provides comfortable nurturing. However, from
time to time the elements seem to lose control and disaster follows often 
unexpected and of unimaginable magnitude. As you probably already know, 
starting  with the worst affected state, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, 
Orisaa, Kerala have all been hit severly by a tidal wave, the so called
Tsunami. 

Although the full magnitude of the disaster is still being assessed, unquestionably 
housands of some of the poorest of our fellow Indians have been rendered helpless. 
AID volunteers in India are involved in providing immediate succour. We in the 
Diaspora here should do everything that we can to help out. We seek financial help 
from  you for this cause. Let us all come together to show our loved ones that, no 
matter where we are, we care deeply for their welfare. 

Please help and help generously.

AID is working with our partners to support various relief proposals including prompt 
approvals up to the $7,500 AID has already committed. AID estimates the amount already 
committed will only cover a fraction of the relief effort. Therefore, AID is appealing 
to all members of the community, including its volunteers, and many supporters
 to contribute  generously toward this effort.
