Collection drive for the AILA affected people

All of us are aware of AILA, the cyclonic storm (accompanied with heavy rains) and how it devastated human and animal life in stretches of West Bengal (especially South 24 Parganas and Sunderban).

As a mark of our solidarity and support to the fellow natives of our home state, New Bengal Club organised a door to door visit to all the bengalees residing in the areas mentioned below:

• Stretch beginning from Majiwada to Kasarvadavli
• Pokhran I and Pokhran II which includes Vasant Vihar, Siddhachal, Ranuq Park,Lokupavan, Lokpuram, Hiranandani Meadows, Tulsidham, Neelkanth Palms, Eden Woods, Garden Estate, Valley Towers, Cosmos Heritage, Happy Valley, Shubharambh, Soham Garden,etc.

We begun this effort on Sunday June 14th, 2009 and in order to flag off the drive; we have decided to gather at Regal Plaza Building, Lokpuram on the 14th at 9.30 am.

We requested many of our members joined in this drive for this humanitarian cause. Members also brought along their personal contribution either in cash (cheque to be drawn in favour of Bharat Sevashram Sangha), when they join for the collection drive at 9.30am.

Total contribution of Rs. 50,000/- was forwarded through Bharat Sevashram Sangha to the affected people of West Bengal.

Club contributed from its benevolent fund on Natural calamity but since the amount was not working out as big, hence we decided to go for door to door collection as well. Also, this effort aims for all of us showing solidarity towards people of Bengal under such sheer distress.
