Flooding in Andhra Pradesh

Dear Friends,

(HomeSite:) http://fcnindia.org

Greetings and Best wishes to you. Hope and pray that you had a great summer.

We are doing fine and had good summer. Our work is going well. We will be returning to India on December 3.

Thanks a lot for your love, kindness and support. We are ever grateful to you.

We share with sadness the severe floods in our State of Andhra Pradesh, India on October 2, 3 and 4. Due to heavy rains the rivers over flowed the towns and villages. Many villages were marooned.

Kurnool, Mahabubnagar, Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur districts are the worst affected areas in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Overall, at least 1,800,000 people in nearly 400 villages have been affected by the floods. Many villages are in bad shape due to the flood waters. The Andhra Pradesh government points out that it is the first time in history that the scale of floods has been so massive. Many villages are damaged in Kadapa area too. The Indian Government has declared it as a national disaster. Government, non-profit organizations and churches are all involved in flood relief work.

Please pray for all those who are suffering due to this natural calamity.

Foundation for Children in Need invites you to support our efforts to reach out to the families affected by the floods in a small way. We would like to provide flood relief kits containing 20 pounds of rice, five pounds of lentils, two liters of cooking oil, a blanket, a mosquito net, a towel and five soaps etc. It will cost us about $ 20 for each kit. We request you if possible to help us by sending your donation, check made to FCN. Mention that it is for flood relief. If you are sending sponsorship donation just add to the same check and notify us.

Thanking you once again for you love and continued support and looking forward to hearing from you.

With Love and Prayers,

Dr. Geetha and Tom Chitta
