Dear Friends and well-wishers;
As you are all aware that there has been continuous rains with heavy flooding and resulting mudslides causing havoc in Sri Lanka. Reuter’s news agency recently estimated the total economic cost as a result is around 1.5 to 2 billion dollars.
Conservative estimate of the damage by most reliable organizations include the following mind boggling numbers; 94 deaths, 116 missing persons, 48,253 injured individuals, 223,687 displaced, 134,000 in a total of 173 welfare centers, 563 totally destroyed homes and 3,783 damages homes.
IMHO was one of the first charities to respond donating money for much needed food, medicines and clothing and the request for aid has been mounting through responsible and respected organizations like Rotary Club and Killinochchi Educational Developmental trust, working locally in the affected areas.
IMHO is appealing to its donors and well-wishers to open their hearts and minds and donate as much as possible, so we could continue this much needed relief work in a timely fashion.
Please send your donations to The Treasurer, IMHO PO Box 341466, Columbus, Ohio 43234 at your earliest convenience. Payment by the Pay pal system is also available at our website http://the imho.org/
Thanking You,
Kana Devacaanthan,
President, IMHO
