Flood Relief (Athani, Kerala) | House construction for Kumar and family

Dear Friends,

Please see the mail/pics from Fr Augutine.  Kumar is a Mason and he is basically from Tamilnadu. He's been living in Athani since many years and Fr has helped in the past to get him some work.  This is a genuine case and I think we should help. Please note that this family is from Athani (Angamali). I have already told Fr that we will directly buy the required materials and give it to the affected family and won't transfer money to any individual or organization. I think we will allocate 50K to start with and then we will see based on the progress. Let me know what you think by posting your suggestion in the comments. Shyju will co-ordinate this. 

Concrete bricks and big metal stones (foundation) for house construction | Shaji

Shaji's house got severely damaged (got split) during the landslide. But he is NOT eligible to get ANY benefits from the government as his house is not fully gone (even though its not livable and the site doesn't have pattayam).  Jinesh visited both the earlier site (damaged house) and the new site (where he is currently living in a temporary shed).

We have decided to buy/sponsor the concrete bricks (around 70,000 Rs) required in the construction of the house. Each concrete brick will cost around 35 Rs and they will need around 2000 of them. We are in the process of negotiating with the contractor and the cost may come down slightly.

Kerala floods | Help affected families to get back on their feet

Dears,

Most of us are involved in flood relief related activities directly or indirectly through our friends, residential associations, church and other organizations. What I understood after talking to various sources is that currently there is adequate supply of relief materials in most of the camps and it’s still pouring in. This will start reducing gradually once the current volunteers gets back to their day-to-day life.
