In an unfortunate and cruel turn of events, a region heavily prone to seasonal drought, including one this year, is currently experiencing severe floods. The heaviest affected areas have been Murshidabad and Purulia districts in West Bengal. Asha Stanford currently supports one project in the area, Mandra Lions Club. http://www.ashanet.org/projects/project-view.php?p=300
The continuous rain has badly damaged the mud houses in these districts and therefore, left the villagers with no protection from the elements. The areas need support on food grains, tent and bamboo, all the hour round mobile health care, drinking water safety, latrine and crop insurance is needed for revival of the area.
