They are distributing food packets and essential medicines to those stranded, erecting temporary shelters for those whose homes have been destroyed, facilitating access to clean drinking water in government relief camps and working with local and national government authorities to expedite the relief process. -----Original Message----- From: Haruna Darbo <[log in to unmask]> To: GAMBIA-L <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Fri, Aug 20, 2010 7:45 pm Subject: I share with you the need for assistance in the Pakistan floods Haruna. Dear Supporter, According to the United Nations, Pakistan is currently experiencing its worst humanitarian crisis and one of the world's biggest disasters. Still, foreign aid has yet to reach many of the 20 million flood victims. And the response to the disaster has been slow and inadequate, unfortunately much like we have seen after other crises. While Grassroots International currently does not have a regional or country program in South Asia or Pakistan, nonetheless our staff, Board, and supporters recognize the devastating effects from the floods on people in Pakistan, as well as the groups engaged in ongoing struggles for social and economic justice, and human rights there. For those Grassroots International donors and colleagues who wish to directly support groups working in the region (either based in the United States or Pakistan), we have posted a list of secular, progressive, or liberal organizations engaged in flood relief work. This list has been put together by a number of progressive South Asian activists in the United States and Pakistan. Grassroots International has not necessarily funded or vetted these groups, so donors must use their own discretion. We have also listed two of our close allies in the United States that have a long history of working in Pakistan and are currently coordinating targeted fundraising efforts for flood relief. While emergency aid is no substitute for long-term, sustainable development, sometimes it is absolutely essential. This is one of those times. Thank you for doing what you can to respond to this crisis in Pakistan. In solidarity, Nikhil Aziz Executive Director Grassroots International works to create a just and sustainable world by building alliances with progressive movements. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
