Bihar flooding

In the current economic crisis which dominates the news, there are parts of the world which are also suffering crisis of another kind. The monsoon rains in India and particularly in Bihar has left 10 million people displaced. Whereas in one part of the world people are losing homes because they don't have money to the mortgage, others have lost everything in the floods.

Bihar is one of the poorest state in India. The relief camps itself are accessible to all the people, as several camps had to be abandoned when the waters reached them. So far there is no bailout for this people from the government and whatever money raised will be by the foreign aid agencies and by ordinary people who reside overseas.

Here in University of Toronto campus, one young girl is trying to raise funds to help the victims fo the flood. She is making the young generation aware of the plight of country from which their parents came from and giving them an opportunity to help the people who are thousands of miles away. By visiting places of worship and community gathering this group of people are doing seva that is much needed by the people of Bihar.
