request - rebuild ‘God’s own country’
Sir,
This mail is an appeal to you to join in our efforts to rebuild ‘God’s own country’ which is facing the worst flood in its history.
Kerala is called ‘God’s own country’ because it is blessed with natural beauty where 35 million people live in harmony. Today my homeland is flooded with an unprecedented heavy rain, reaching 40-50cm in many places for several days on end! Nearly 7.5 lakh people were sheltered in rescue camps, lakhs became homeless. Bridges, roads and hillways collapsed and many places are still isolated. Even now in a high-range place called Nelliyampathy, about 3000 people are totally isolated and food and medicines are supplied to them by helicopter. Despite the heavy rainfall, wind and difficult terrain, common people in masses are showing a phenomenal resistance by joining hands with the state in rescue work. Common people from all sectors joined with state rescue efforts and provided food and clothes in rescue camps. Rescue operations by a group of 4000 fishermen (who earn 5-8 Dollors a day) in country boats saved 50,000 peple. Government, masses and national disaster management forces collaborated to move people from nearly drowned houses to rescue camps. Inspite of being from wide demographical patterns, everyone ranging from children to aged are staying together to survive the worst flood of the century. You can find heroic efforts extending from pilots landing a helicopter in terraces of small houses to lay fishermen in small boats moving through water with heavy undercurrents.
Sir, now rescue works are coming to an end. About a million have become homeless; means of living - cattle stock, agricultural lands, plantations - all are lost. Roads, bridges, water and power supply, everything needs to be rebuilt.
It is nearly a Herculean task since the means required to rebuild our homes is several times that of our state revenue. It may be impossible but we will !! You know, we were playing with death in the last few days. Floating deadbodies never scared common people in rescue works. After all we realized that ‘human’ is the most beautiful creature in the world. People risking their lives to save fellow beings and small children collecting food for rescue camps cannot fail. Minds of millions like His Holiness Pope Francis appeal to the international community to help us survive the calamity.
The Kerala State Government reiterated its commitment to rehabitate the homeless. But despite a strong will, we lack resources in this situation. I request you to join in our efforts to rebuild ‘Gods own country’ to all its glory. Any donation to ‘Chief Minister’s Disaster relief fund’ (http://www.cmdrf.kerala.gov.in/) can ensure a strong and transparent support as it has a clean track record and comes under CAG audit (also ensures even distribution). Common people are behind the government to rebuild our homeland and we expect your whole-hearted support in our endeavours.
With lot of expectations and love,
