Dear Friends,

You might have come across the news of heavy rainfalls and severe flood in the southern most state of India, called Kerala. These are some facts and figures about current situation.
35% more rain during monsoon.
44 rivers in full spate, many breaking banks.
42 Dams opened.
225 landslides.
Death toll nearing 400 at this stage.
Total lost of 12 billion, estimated at this stage.

All this happening in a place smaller in size than North Island but with a population of 35 million and density of 890/sq km(3 times India's national average) you can imagine the calamity if you compare it with our population density of 18/sq km. Kerala(malayalee) community has already started helping out the Rescue Shelters with Funds, Essential Supplies and Logistics. We have been actively involved in action since 16th of August but now we know that it's a MONSTER TASK!!
