Humanists Support Tsunami Disaster Relief Efforts
We at the American Humanist Association have received an outpouring of interest from our membership to provide a method for individuals to give as Humanists to the tsunami relief efforts. In response to this call for action, we have partnered with the Atheist Centre in India through our international body, the International Humanist and Ethical Union. The Atheist Centre manages Arthik Samata Mandal, an established disaster relief organization that has been active since 1977. This organization already has the required Indian Government approval to receive overseas aid funds, which it will use to address both short-term rehabilitation and long-term reconstruction needs of tsunami victims. Programs are being designed in cooperation with the affected communities aimed at addressing health, food security, habitat, and livelihood needs. In the longer term, the Centre will work toward reconstruction and reduction of vulnerability. Tens of thousands perished in the tsunami and even more are at imminent risk of disease. And the lives and livelihoods of still more have been shattered. As Humanists concerned for the wellbeing of all, we wish to express Humanism's compassion for the survivors who have experienced such lost. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP The American Humanist Association is making it possible for 100% of your donation to reach our overseas partners--we're absorbing all the various processing and transfer costs. If you wish to participate in this program, you can donate online through the AHA's secure website: https://www.americanhumanist.org/secure/disaster.html _________________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To be removed from the list, send any message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For all list information and functions, including changing your subscription mode and options, visit the Web page: http://npogroups.org/lists/info/aha |
