Appeal for help for flood victims of Andhra and Karnataka

Time has come once again to rise to the occasion to help the flood victims of Andhra and Karnataka. Our HCL counterparts in Hyderabad and Bangalore are in contact with agencies that are helping the suffering people.

I will be sending a mail to Chennai staff appealing for help by afternoon tomorrow asking for clothes, foot wear, vessels, medicines and biscuit packets. We will also appeal for monetary help through cheques and cash. The material that we collect will be handed over through our HCL team in Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Kindly keep the following things ready by 1200 h tomorrow.

Carton boxes at suitable places for collection of the above. Please take printouts for the above items and paste them on the boxes. We will collect these items by 13th Oct from all the facilities including the clothes collected already and lying with you.
There will instruction for our employees to hand over the cheques to the building Admin. Please collect the cheques and keep them with you.
Also arrange for a small box sealed on all sides except for a small hole to drop money. This is for those who want to donate cash. Keep this box under the watch of the security guard. At the end of the day secure the box safely and display again in the morning till we complete the collection. Paste a printout “ Donation –Flood victims”

I request the Admin and CSC members to coordinate and send a mail to building staff on the location of the boxes and to whom they can handover the cheques. We have also requested Marcom to send mails for appeal.

God Bless you for this service for the suffering.

We have given(ETA-2)branch 4300 Rs as amount and cheque and some of the necessary things like chappels,cloths and biscuits.

In response to our appeal you had been generous and we are grateful to you. We collected 97 cartons of relief material and we sent it by rail to our HCL counterparts who are working in the flood affected areas. The relief material was distributed by our employees directly to the people.

We also collected Rs 33400/- in the form of cheques and cash and sent it to the HCL coordinator. The receipts will be distributed to you in course of time.
