Update for 5th July

Kaustuv has accompanied Green Camp to distribute some more relief at Chargheri today. We can expect to see some pictorial updates from him on Kaustuv’s Picasa in a few days. The fund collections for this week were quite less compared to last week, and the quantity carried to Chargheri may fall short of the requirement for the week (even taking account of any surpluses from last week). Most of the contributions for the current week are based on large personal contributions from fewer members. Mixed feelings come.

However as the previous post unambiguously states, our action area and role is yet to be decided. Assessment of ground realities have to continue a little longer. It may be a little frustrating for all of us over this period, but unfortunately there is no shortcut to it. We need to assess well to have any hopes of doing it well and ensuring that the right people get the benefits of people's contributions. We have been late in jumping in; the worst we can do at this point of time is try to make up for it by drastically cutting down on the time needed to assess and plan.
