Crisis in Pakistan

Following is the mail I got from UNICEF:


Dear Karthik,



The images from Pakistan are gut-wrenching.


Devastating floods last weekend ravaged homes and crops. 1,400 are already confirmed dead. More than 1 million children are in desperate need of emergency assistance.


UNICEF has mobilized all available resources in the region – distributing hygiene kits and high-energy protein biscuits, repairing tube wells, and setting up medical camps. But with many areas still inaccessible, the needs will only grow in the coming days.


Please donate now and help support relief efforts in Pakistan.


With gratitude,


Caryl M. Stern


President & CEO


U.S. Fund for UNICEF
 
 
Dear Karthik,



The news from Pakistan continues to develop by the hour. As more information becomes available, we will share details with you. Visit FieldNotes for the latest images and updates from our field staff there.


In other news, UNICEF is working to end the practice of child marriage. Marriage often marks the end of a girl’s education and the beginning of increased health risks, largely due to complications from early pregnancy.


In Senegal, UNICEF has worked for years to open a dialog on social and health issues with community leaders. Thanks to these efforts, more than 4,000 communities in Senegal have declared their abandonment of child marriage.


Thank you for all you do.

May 10th has come and its Mom's birthday..its a long time since I want to write about amma.. talking about amma and talking with amma is definitely a great feeling..  Photo Courtesy: Rajkumar I was  staying away from home starting 2005 and even today after six years whenever I call home she starts the conversation with one standard sentence "I was thinking of you and you called me" . Irrespective of the time she will tell the same because all through the day she will think of me.. when I got my first promotion and told her about it she tells me "If you tell these kind of news I would like to live some more years".. At that time she was just recovering from some blood clots in her brain.. She was not just a mother but more of a moral support who taught me a lot of things.. thats my mom!! one thing that stands out in my mother is her commitment to the family's cause.. she is definitely the strongest pillar of my family. Whatever my family does

where r we goin???

i had a fren named Amritesh who is an active member of Bharath Uday Mission kanpur chapter. though i'm not a member of that chapter i 've the habit of discussing about our nation's future prospects with him. last night our discussion turned on to a concept called "nation's development through self development of individual" i strongly believe that this is the only way to develop our nation. people like motilal nehru, Hegdevar envisioned this long ago but the concept failed to reach the masses of the nation. In the present day i found only Vijay kumar sir of VIMP(my institute) is carrying the flag of self development. two incidents in the recent past provoked me to believe in this philosophy. they are: Infamous Rakhi Sawant Case: in this case rakhi sawant publicly admitted that she has kissed mika on his cheek and has no problem if he replied similarly. she attended the party with no cover on her back and a shot instead of trouser.(i feel ashamed to describe
