COMFA Delhi Front Public Mautam Appeal in Delhi & NCR

PUBLIC APPEAL FOR MAUTAAM FAMINE-AID
As we are all aware, the 50-year cyclical bamboo flowering phenomenon currently affecting the Zo inhabited areas in Manipur, Mizoram and neighbouring Burma have caused famine conditions due to crop failure. The year-long hard labour of farmers were destroyed by rodents, grasshoppers, etc. in a matter of few nights. Our people stood helpless, hoping against hope that daily bread for the family may be provided each day by someone from somewhere.
The Government of India, the State Governments of Manipur and Mizoram are understood to be aware of the situation. The Central Government had even sanctioned Rs. 16,67,00,000.00 (Rupees Sixteen crores sixtyseven lakhs) as Relief Grant for Mautaam in Manipur about four months ago.
However, the amount has not reached its intended destination so far, and no one knows when would it be! While all out efforts are made to deliver the said funds to our people, we could not sit back and simply watch the suffering of our people worsen day by day nay second by second to greet the ensuing Christmas and New Year with an empty stomach.
By the grace of God, you and I are privilege to live in Delhi & NCR while our people over there are waiting for a handful of rice to cook next. This is the day that the Lord has made for us to feed the hungry and cheer-up the desperate.
Please donate generously to our collectors who will visit your home in November 2008. The booklet containing names of all donors will be send to you in December 2008. Your donations will be forwarded by us to COMFA, Lamka for distribution to the needy.
