Appeal from JIM Ministry team and YWAM - Chennai and Colachel
Below is the e-mail from my brother Biju who is at present in Chennai working with missionaries in helping the people from Chennai and Colachel who are affected by the recent tsunami.
"As i requested you earlier, there is a big need to continue relief works in the affected areas. Here my friends (missionaries) are working in two different ministries YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and JIM (Joel India Ministries) . They have already started working to help people in the affected areas especially YWAM teams are working in Colachel and JIM team in Chennai."
Here is the e-mail from Joel India Ministries, India. If you are willing to help, please contact them through e-mail at the below e-mail ids. It will be of more help if you are from around Chennai or Colachel.
E-mail from Joel India Ministries...
"Would you be able to send this email to your mailing list and encourage people to donate to this relief effort that we are now undertaking in Tamil Nadu? You can send it to churches, friends, and donors and see if you can raise some funds for this effort. We have people already on location working but we need substantial funds to carry out the below project.
For donors in the US they can contact Pastor, Charles Kennedy, and Email to Nolevn@cs.com if they want a tax-deductible receipt. Please consider sending it out to your email list and encourage people to respond. This is a Joel India Ministries effort. Already teams were been to different areas, which are the worst effected area in the State. We are doing some relief work in Chennai but focusing more on the south where the resources are scarce. Let me know if you can help us with this in multiplying this email. We will track it down and get it to you.
Nobody was warned of any upcoming disaster and preceded with Sunday morning, December 26th, in the usual manner. But when the tsunami hit, lives of people all across South and Southeast Asia were changed dramatically. In Tamil Nadu, fishing villages are among the worst damaged. With boats and huts wrecked, people's loved ones and livelihoods were stolen from them. The fishing town of Colachel is among the worst hit with more than 400 dead with more expected to come. Huts situated along Colachel's coast have been flattened. The Indian Express newspaper notes that Colachel has been the worst hit by the Tsunami wave. There are more than 7000 families who are now homeless. As the debris is cleared and the ocean waters recede, more bodies are expected to be discovered. In Nagapattinam, the stench of decomposing bodies lingers heavily in the air. It has been reported that the progress of relief and rescue efforts are moving at a snail's pace.
The tsunami has rendered many people homeless, taken away their livelihoods, and left many with no hope for the future. When the tsunami becomes a memory for the rest of the world, the people of Colachel, Nagapattinam, and other coastal villages will struggle to move forward with their lives. This tragic story stretches all along the coastal towns of Tamil Nadu right into the city of Chennai The numbers continue to rise. Although much work has already been put into action, much still remains to be done.
Our church member as well as YWAM is already moving quickly into action. One of the fisherman's villages in Chennai where we have a permanent ministry was also hit by the tsunami. Another fishing town down south where one of our workers who leads our slum ministry was home for Christmas holidays. He is now deeply involved in relief work on the coast. We are sending teams and our staff into these troubled areas. Already they are moving into action as you get this email.
We need to have a two pronged approach...
one is the short term relief work...which the government machinery is working on...
a. food - kitchen
b. medicine
c. clothing
d. clean water
e. safe place to stay on a temporary basis
f. helping families clean, helping in burial...
f. trauma counseling...govt may not focus on this...
long term relief work...which we as ywam can look into apart from the short term relief...and the things that i can think of right now are
a. reconstruction of homes...if they own personal lands...we can build permanent concrete structures...
b. rehabilitation of widows...self help projects...
c. counseling for those who lost family members...
d. repair of boats...
e. children educational fund for those who have lost their fishermen fathers
f. long-term disaster relief coordinator
we are trying to gather information from different places...i tried getting to some of the worst hit areas and those places were cordoned off by the police...we will be going out again tomorrow morning to see what are the areas we can focus on...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
The immediate need RIGHT NOW is US $40,000. The breakdown is below.
Immediate Needs:
1. Food packets for the stranded fishermen. We are planning to provide rice, dahl (lentils), and oil for at least 700 families that will last those 5 days to help them get through the initial stages of the relief work. This amount is needed right now. Cost: 5,000 US dollars.
2. Medical: Because of the mass amount of dead bodies that are being washed ashore and the devastation of homes there is a pending outbreak of dysentery, cholera, and other diseases. We are setting up dispensaries for IV fluids rehydration, and medicine to combat this potential outbreak. Cost for Medicines and distribution: US 2,000
3. Temporary housing and shelter: We will provide plastic sheets for people to sleep on or cover themselves from rains that may come. The ground is still wet and they need something to sleep on. Cost: US 2,000
4.We are mobilizing 20 team of people in the relief effort.
We need US 2,000 for transportation, housing and food to keep them working.
Long term Needs:
5. Distribution of cooking utensils, pots, plates to 500 families of the poorest of the poor in the disaster area. Cost: US 13000
6. Finally, we are planning on complete rehabilitation of three fishermen villages. This could include helping those who have been widowed, the orphans, rebuilding of houses, repair of boats, and purchase of new boats for the poorest of the poor and repair or purchase. Cost: US 16,000.
We are also working with other mission like YWAM and local church’s
