HSS Serving Katrina Victims
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) expresses
heartfelt sympathy for the victims of hurricane Katrina, one of the worst
natural disasters in the USA. HSS urges all Hindus in America to rise to
the occasion by addressing needs of the people suffered by hurricane Katrina.
HSS has appealed its hundreds of
volunteers in all 90 chapters of HSS to help through collecting donations,
canned foods, cookies, crackers, bottled water, juices, medical supplies
and blankets. HSS requests all monetary contributions directed to Sewa
International or American Red Cross. Dozens of volunteers from Houston,
including children attending several Balagokulams, have already started
the collection. The HSS office at Keshav Smrithi, 4018 Westhollow Pkwy,
Houston, TX 77082 has been designated as the contact point for all relief
efforts.
HSS is working with authorities
in Houston in meeting the immediate needs of the displaced people arriving
from New Orleans. The government officials and American Red Cross have
opened various shelters in Houston. HSS volunteers will serve in these
local Red Cross shelters in Houston and other area. Volunteers are also
coordinating with other shelters and motels, which have become temporary
homes for victims. Volunteers are also contacting physicians, asking them
to contribute their time and medical supplies and businesses to provide
material help.
