Flood Relief Update:

In Kurnool and Guntur, the feedback we received was that the efforts by different people, groups, organizations are showing results (in improving basic immediate relief) and hence we decided to concentrate our service in Gulbarga. We could not make the trip to Gulbarga the last weekend due to logistic reasons. We planned to go this weekend. Together we have collected around Rs 32,000 for the flood relief. Thank you for the contribution. If any of you have made contributions specifically for flood relief and have not communicated, kindly do so
