Ladakh Relief Effort

The flash floods in Ladakh that occurred on 6th August 2010, have terribly affected the lives of some of the nicest and kindest people one can get to meet anywhere. I personally have received their warm hospitality and unselfish help at a number of times.

A group of us are coordinating with locals in Ladakh, a number of NGO's and the Army to identify the affected families and support them. Our aim is to make a visible difference to at least a few families, rather than just sending relief material/money to any sort of a fund where we have no clue about its effective usage.

Till date we have identified 56 families in 19 villages, that have been badly affected by this catastrophe and need help. Their details are listed on this spreadsheet.

To see what you can do to help them, please check out the following link where we are posting regular updates about this initiative -
