BASTROP, TX: Nearly 1500 homes have been destroyed, about 45 square miles have been blackened and at least two people have died in the wildfires in and around Bastrop, Texas, just outside Austin. Lost lives, destroyed communities, and grief-stricken families have caused deep sorrow and many people are desperately seeking help.
SEWA International, USA wants to provide relief to the suffering and helplessness of the families affected by wild fires. It is asking its volunteers to immediately contribute to relief operations in the affected areas. SEWA volunteers in Houston and Austin are galvanizing the support for local fire departments by collecting items such as clothing, toiletries, bedding, pillows, cots, sleeping bags, teddy bears or small toys for children and dog/cat food.
Sewa International is also joining hands with Indo-American organizations to gather funds and in-kind donations for families displaced by the wild fires. President of India Cultural Center-Houston, Mr. Raj Bhalla and, Executive Director of Indo-American Charity Foundation, Mr. Surender Talwar, agreed to join efforts with Sewa International to gather help for families affected the fire.
SEWA, a non-profit organization, is asking individuals, companies and other organizations to generously donate their time and tax-deductible monetary contributions to SEWA. These donations help step up the ongoing relief efforts and to provide compassionate assistance to families devastated by the Texas fires.
SEWA International believes that "Service to humanity is service to God" and calls on people to contact their local SEWA chapters or one of SEWA's national Texas Fire Relief coordinators Vasudev Singh (512-554-6498) or Sharad Amin (713-854-0633) to get involved in the relief efforts.
