LCIF
Pakistan
Earthquake appeal
So
soon after the tsunami in
South East Asia
, then hurricane Katrina
we have yet another major natural disaster.
This time a powerful earthquake has wrecked havoc on the border
region of
Pakistan
and
India
, near
Kashmir
.
LCIF
has issued a major catastrophe grant of US$200,000 to assist with both short
and long term needs. LCIF has
also issued three US$10,000 emergency grants so that Lions in the affected
areas can quickly help people get food, water and medicine.
Lions around the world are now pledging their support to LCIF in its
efforts to bring some relief to those suffering.
Lions of District 105W have a proud tradition of supporting LCIF when
these tragic events take place, therefore once again I ask for your support
by contributing funds to the “LCIF
Earthquake Relief Fund“.
Contributions
can be made through our District Treasurer.
Cheques should be made out to “Lions
Clubs International District
105W”
and endorsed Pakistan Earthquake Relief.
A
committee has been put in place chaired by Past International Director
Nilofer Bakhtiar. This
committee will assess the needs in the area and help direct Lions relief
efforts.
I
thank you in anticipation of your support.
District
Governor Lion Jim Hamilton.
