Dear Friends & Well-wishers,
Most of you probably are already aware of the massive havoc and devastation that has been caused by the ferocious cyclone Sidr, "the most destructive storm to hit the country in more than a decade" in Bangladesh. As of today, the death toll has already risen to 2000+. The death toll is expected to follow thousands more. According to the BBC report, the "Cyclone Sidr destroyed or damaged tens of thousands of homes, brought down power lines and wiped out vital crops." Available relief operation in the affected area is barely sufficient because of the intensity and immensity of the damage. For these practical reasons, government also cannot be expected to carry out the huge relief operation and rehabilitation work all alone.

That said, we would like to request our beloved members to come forward and give a hand to the millions of poor victims. There are several government and NGOs available, where you may wish to donate. In order to be a part of this humanitarian mission, Mukto-Mona has allotted US $ 500.00 from its modest fund which we hope to hand over soon to the Bangladesh Government's Relief Fund through our Dhaka Representative Prof. Ajoy Roy. Willing M-M members living in the USA/Canada may join our effort by sending monetary contribution through personal checks. Please feel free to come forward & help the victims, however, small your contribution is. At this moment, we are not accepting donations from M-M members outside the USA. If we do, you would be notified soon. You may contact us through following e-mail IDs:
Sincerely,
