What is primarily needed in India is money to purchase supplies and equipment thatis regionally available. The Indian Students Association has already begun collecting money donations. We encourage anyone in the Universitycommunity to contribute to that effort.
Preference is for donations to be in the form of checks.
The money will be deposited into the Indian Students Association account with the Office of Student Activities and one check for the relief effort will be written by Student Activities. It will go to the People Science Institute in India, a non-Government disaster relief agency with which one of the graduate students present at our meeting has worked for a year prior to coming here. We will send the first check sometime immediately after Feb. 16, though will also forward money that comes in after that date. If any other group is doing such fund raising and wishes to give it in cash, that can be also taken to the Student Activities Office and designated for this fund. Should you wish to contribute in some other way than through this fund, we encourage you to do so through any relief agency that you may know.
