Wednesday, 12 January 2005 WAVES OF MERCY --Red Crescent member speaks at GLOBAL SIKHS daily briefing --Captain Hugo: "I'm just a simple Irish man." "THE Acehnese were very helpful....I think they love Punjabis," says Kulwant Singh, one of the first humanitarian relief workers to find their way into the Indonesian island ravaged by a combo of undersea earthquake and a devastating tsunami. Kulwant, a serving member on board of the Malaysian Red Crescent (the equivalent of Red Cross) has just returned from the Aceh mission a couple of days ago.

LIFE (Dec 31 - Part 1) By Navneet Singh, Volunteer and Team Leader for UNITED SIKHS I spent all night yesterday, and all of today morning thinking about the Tsunami Disaster in Asia. With pictures of the wrath shown on CNN over and over again, with panic of another Tsunami coming and people running for their lives, my eyes became red and my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't think or feel anything for 60 seconds. Approx 120,000 people dead, with one third of them children, all gone in one day, just like that. It reminded me of the delicate times we are facing in today's world all around us but this was something really not imaginable. With nothing else on my mind, I clo…

From Ravinder Singh We reached Coddalore at 10 am today (11 /01/05) and drove straight to the District Collectors office. The meeting was arranged last night so that the building of the houses for the Tsunami affected families could go ahead as soon as possible. The various Sikh groups from around India were discussing the final phase for this development with the Collector, Mr Gagandeep Singh. Khalsa Aid again reiterated that we will not support any housing project involving Asbestos and that the whole building contract should be put out to tender to achieve the maximum amount of competitive attention. We left the meeting after 45 minutes to have a look at a functionin…

EXPLAINING WHAT THE KIRPAN IS TO A NON-SIKH by Manvir Singh Khalsa WHAT IS A KIRPAN (pronounced Kir-paan)? It is a small sword held by a material strap which goes across the body.

WHO CARRIES A KIRPAN? Initiated Sikh men and women, irrespective of age. WHY CARRY A KIRPAN? It is part of the Sikh uniform which consists of 5 articles: 1. Kes: uncut hair (tied up and the head and crowned with a turban) - The Kes is an identity of a Sikh and also h…
