Support delivered for the Cyclone Aila victims

Light Bangladesh in a joint effort with Ashirbad (a program of Bangladesh Assemblies of God Church), distributed food items, drinking water, water purifying tablets and oral saline to the victims of the Cyclone Aila residing at the Mongla brothel. The support was distributed on June 06, 2009 with the aid of the local authority. Members form Light Bangladesh and Ashirbad joined the program and made it a overwhelming success. The beneficiaries were very happy to get the support, especially with the drinking water, water purifying tablets and dry food. One of the beneficiaries said “it is good that you bring the dry foods so that we can stock and eat proportionately till we find more source for food. And the water purifying tablets will save us from many easy diseases, specially will save the children."

Support was distributed among 200 victims. Although it was not enough for them to live until they find work and live on themselves again, it was definitely a relief for the moment. The acute shortage of drinking water forcing them to drink salty water, which in turn will create water borne diseases. Light Bangladesh distributed enough water purifying tablets along with fresh water and water container to keep them safe until they can have a safe source of water.

The next step is to support the victims to build their houses. LB is presently collecting funds from different resources to donate to the victims in building houses. You can contribute to the support program with "whatever-you-have" or just spreading the news and with your prayers. Thanks for being with us.
