ADVERTISEMENT
I flew back from Sri Lanka just yesterday. Given the
geo political and local ethnic situation the only real
money and help that will reach the minority Tamil and Mulsim people
in Sri Lanka can only be through the NGO Tamils Rehabilitation
Orgainsation (TRo)and other impartial NGOs. The National Govt. cannot
be expected to work impartially at all given their past and current
record.
Many NGOs are staffed by Sri Lanka's majority community who are
mostly kind hearted and willing to help but some even under such
tragic circumstances are not impartial as can be seen by the
diversion of UNICEF food relief from affected minority Tamil and
Muslim areas to majority Sinhalese areas by low level UNICEF
empoloyees against management wishes. (Confirmed by Canadian
Broadcasting Company Radio News 12:00 Noon EST Dec 29, 04 but
unconfirmed by UNICEF)
Such occurances are not new to South Asia, when Gujarat in India
suffered an earth quake not long agao most relief reached only the
upper castes and but not the minority Dalits as documented by Amnesty
International and other Human Rights organisation.
Most of the affected in Sri Lanka are the minority Tamils and Mulims,
those who are getting the least relief are the Tamils and Muslims
(See http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=13769) So if
you want to help the most effected then, one of the organisation that
can reach them is Tamils Rehabilitation Organisation (TRO). Their
contact is as given below.
