Humanitarian Crisis

My Dear America,

The world is helplessly witnessing the escalating death toll approximately 100,000 lives and still rising from the natural catastrophe, cyclone in Myanmar (Burma). The cyclone is attributed to the major problem, the “Global warming" confronting us and the future generation.

There is a serious concern for the outbreak of disease and other related problems.

The Burmese population have been enormously suffering under the oppressive regime for nearly half a century and now the natural disaster has caused severe humanitarian crisis with food, medical supplies and drinking water shortages for the surviving population.

The United Nations and other humanitarian organizations are struggling to deliver humanitarian relief to the victims but unfortunately the authoritarian “Power” in Burma appears to have no concern for humanity.

I realize, we are all experiencing economic downturn at home and there are many struggling to meet both ends. Our plight is relatively mild as compared to the population of this impoverished nation.

United States has always been in the forefront in humanitarian aid and rescue operations worldwide. Please come forward and continue the tradition by contributing whatever is possible to the following humanitarian organizations;

World Vision, Red Cross International, United Nations Humanitarian aid for Myanmar - Their websites provide contact details.

You may also please visit website CNN.com/impact to donate to the above cause.

I request you all to take time and please contribute whatever is affordable to the following charities. I’m sure you may all be dedicated to your own favorite causes but please spare your attention to the ones’ listed below as well;

I received a “sad” note from the War Hero of “U.S.Armed Forces, Iraq Casualty Appeal” and the note read:

“I cannot afford to give you Pens, Note Pads, $/ Bills, Calendars, or Name Labels – But will you take a minute to read my letter anyway? – BILL”.

It is heart wrenching to see that our war veterans are dependent on charity for survival and recovery from the physical, mental and emotional wounds in exchange for their huge sacrifices in defending the honor and security of our nation.

Isn’t it our government responsibility to provide adequate means for our war heroes and their families to live a life with respect and dignity?

Please support our troops and their families.

The home based charity mailing addresses are;

We have all the more reasons to elect an effective leadership who understands the “Climate Crisis” and the “humanitarian issues” confronting our nation and the rest of the world.

The “Gore-Feingold” team has proven record and experience on all these issues. There is still time to go against "conventional wisdom" in nominating the candidates for the Democratic Party and the “Presidency of the United States”.

Your generous contributions for the above humanitarian causes are much appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Padmini Arhant
