Please Help People! It's Fucking Needed! Right Now!

Enough with the celebrations, seriously. In fact, we never should have started celebrating in the first place, but now that we have at least let's stop and get to work. There is a lot - and I mean a LOT - of work to be done. While we are basking in the glory of victory, our own people are suffering out there in the IDP camps with only the minimum facilities available to them. The govt is trying hard, but they can't do this all by themselves. They need all the friggin' help they can get, and it is time for us to help instead of pointing fingers. Remember when the Tsunami struck? The whole nation got together and came forward to help even without a call from anybody. Now the need is even bigger. And urgent. So let's help.

To all the facebook patriots. No amount of status messages are going to help. No amount of links showing how the IC is being a bitch and how right we were to go on with the war are going to help. But money will. Even the smallest amount you can afford can make a difference. Be it thousand, five hundred or even hundred rupees. Doesn't matter, it all counts. And honestly, I think most of us can do better than that. Buy one shirt less the next time you go shopping. Cancel one booze party. Smoke one pack of cigarettes less. Buy a little cheap birthday present for your daughter this time - there are thousands over there not knowing whether they'd live to see another birthday.

Here are some places where you can help.

Sarvodaya is a pretty credible organization and have been doing good work for a long time. I think you can be pretty assured that your money will be put to good use. So is ACT. They have full access to the IDP camps and have been doing an impressive work lately. You can find more information here in Indi's Blog about their work. Also the govt related organizations are collecting funds, so you can donate to them as well. You'd find more information on Defence site.

So again, please do help. This is the only way we can get those people out of those camps and give them a better life. If we all care to help, and raise some money, the resettling will speed up. It's worth the effort even if we can make them stay one day less in those camps. That's not a life any human being wants to live. They are all respectable people with dignity as much as any of us, so let's help them live with dignity. Now is the time to put all our differences behind and just be humans, more than ever before.

Please...
