THEY STILL NEED US — WE MUST NOT ABANDON THEM
Don’t forget the 3 million homeless victims of the South Asian Earthquake Don’t forget the 74,000 injured people
Don’t forget the 8,000 destroyed schools
Don’t forget the 79,000 deaths
Don’t forget that more people will die from the cold than from the earthquake
•As the media’s attention drifts away from South Asia, remember that a 100,000 survivors are at risk of dying in the coming weeks and more will follow if help is not given to them.
To mark the one month anniversary of the South Asian Earthquake
Join us for a CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL to grieve for lives lost, provide hope to those still struggling to survive, draw the world’s attention to the work that still needs to be done.
Our individual voices can be one loud message of support, hope and action.
