Appeal for help for Uttrakhand

The rains have wreaked havoc in Uttrakhand and Infinity Resorts through our NGO, The Corbett Foundation, are doing our part. Please contribute to help the people of this region.

Here is the text of the appeal from Dilip D. Khatau and Rina D. Khatau:

Dear friends,

I am sure u have heard about the devastating floods in Pakistan and now where our resort, Infinity Corbett Wilderness and our charitable organisation, The Corbett Foundation is situated, the rivers carrying water down from the Himalayas are in full spade. Large volumes of water flowing down at great speed, had destroyed villagers' homes, livestocks, crops and even some of the villagers were drowned.

Wildlife in the Corbett Tiger Reserve is also affected. We had pictures of spotted deer, sambhars, porcupines, all drowned as they tried to escape the rising tide and unable to swim against the strong currents. Even the Sisham tree plantation across our resort had been completely destroyed, taking the soil underneath these trees. Now the Kosi River flows across further away from our resort where the sisham plantation once stood!

Our staff at The Corbett Foundation had started doing medical and welfare/relief work in the villages that are badly affected by these floods. We intend to distribute food, durable plastic sheets to these villagers. In addition, our Rural Medical Outreach teams have fanned out to these remote villagers to cater to the sick and injuired.

Pls help by sending your donations, clothes, blankets, etc to The Corbett Foundation. For more info, pls click the below links.
