Raiz, Since I am not able to post a message with an attachment, please checkout the following link for the appeal - www.aidindia.org/assam. It has a word document as well as a PDF.
Reasons why this is a good fit for your donation a. AID is involved. b. RVC was founded by Ravindranath - who has been recommended highly by several sources, including Shantikam Hazarika, Director of Assam Institute of Management. He has been known to work rather than be in the limelight. c. RVC's President is Dr Kulendu Pathak....students from Cotton will remember him as the active Head of Dept of Physics. He is currently the VC of Dibrugarh University d. A few people had asked if this was a govt. initiative. This is NOT a govt initiative. This is purely AID volunteer and contacts network. I would request you to forward to your non-Axomiya friends too. Please note that even a small amount makes a difference in someone's lives.
