Khalsa Aid from UK going out to help...

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh.

We are all aware of the tragic and sad events that have taken place in South East Asia. Thousands of people have died and many remain missing, from Indonesia to Somalia. The fortunate ones who have survived face the threat of disease and long-term economic loss.

Khalsa Aid (K.A.) is sending a team of volunteers to Sri Lanka and other affected areas to assess the situation on the ground to assist in the humantarian relief effort. K.A. will be linking up with local NGO's and, where possible, work alongside them to provide assistance.

Khalsa Aid was formed in 1999 to help those escaping from the Kosovan war and has since provided aid in Orissa (East India), Turkey, Gujarat (West India), The Democratic Republic of Congo and recently Somalia (this is an ongoing development programme).

All volunteers are unpaid and are inspired by the teachings of Sikhi and individuals such as Bhai Kanaiya Ji. All this seva has been possible due to the genorosity of the Sangat.

Khalsa Aid is appealing for donations to provide medicine, shelter and long-term education needs in the affected areas. Your contributions so far have helped thousands of unfortunate people in several countries and now the need has arisen again to help those who have lost almost everything.

wiked, was wondering where they had gone.

I would urge Sikhs in UK to get behind Khalsa aid, let try show the world what sikhs can do. We've had very bad press coverage, lets get some good now.

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

I think Singh's should go to their and do seva. We should donate money because thats the khalsa's duty to look after the world.

Khalsa aid should go to the Nicobar islands where they are loads of sikhs living.

No rescurers have reached it yet.

Loads of people are helping. We should help everyone. But no one is helping other sikhs. :TH:

If I want to volunteer for khalsa aid and go. What is the procedure?

Dear Sangat Ji,

Thank you for the great response and the encouragement concerning the above

appeal. It's always hard work organising these important missions, but with

the knowledge that your blessings are with us it becomes much easier.

Khalsa Aid will be directing its humanitarian relief efforts in Sri Lanka

and Sumatra (Indonesia). In both of these places, we will be working with

the local Sikh Sangat to ensure aid reaches the people who desperately need

it. With our experience of working with local Sikhs in Gujarat and Orissa

during our first two major missions, it was evident how important local

knowledge was in managing the distribution of relief aid effectively.

As we continue with our latest mission, I will ensure the Sangat is kept up

to date on our progress.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa,

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
