As the world knows the situation in India is out of control in the rural areas all around us. What the papers are saying is only half the grim stories of death and destruction.
AN URGENT APPEAL
MEDICALLY-POOR RURAL INDIA NEEDS YOUR HELP
PROPOSAL FOR IMMEDIATE COVID RELIEF – BAREFOOT COLLEGE NETWORK
THE SECOND WAVE IS EVEN MORE SERIOUS
We do not need to explain the devastating impact the “second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic” has had on this country as images of burning pyres, critically ill lying in autorickshaws, patients gasping their last for want of oxygen, have burned international media which termed it a “viral apocalypse”.
Once more, we appeal to you to open your hearts and help us obtain desperately needed medical supplies – beds, oxygen, nebulisers, oxygenators, medicines, sanitisers, masks, vital supplies, wood for a decent cremation…
Barefoot Solutions
We need funds desperately to buy essential medical supplies. PLEASE don’t send parcels and equipment from abroad. The airports are clogged and it will take months to release them with all the paperwork.
The Ground Reality
What is more alarming is the migration that is taking place from the urban to the rural area with millions carrying the covid virus along with them and spreading the virus in remote villages where the medical facilities are no existent.
WHAT WE NEED ARE FUNDS TO PURCHASE MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT LOCALLY.
Please see below a Mini Guide to Reaching Out and extend a helping hand to help our villages survive this carnage, in any way you can.
