Pujya Moraribapu’s message of hope and unity, is inspiring during these times of global turmoil. His fund raising appeal to assist flood affected victims in India is touching, had a generous response from pious donors. I am certain that all donors would like to know about the amount will be donated by Ramkatha Trust, and in what equitable proportion, compared to amount donated by Britain’s hard working NRI donors.
How fast cash will reach the flood affected victims. This information can be compared the speed with which, funds for Latur and Kutch earthquakes victims, reached them or whether the funds are stagnating in Britain. If the funds collected during Ram-katha stagnate here, due to unforeseen regulations/ administrative hurdles, this bona fide generosity will be futile.
There are many letters in Asian Voice objecting to draining of funds to foreign counties as foreign aid policy. Then is it wise for Ram-bhaktas to drain such amount to India. There are many public welfare activities, eg Red Cross, NSPCC, Cancer Research, Hospices, etc that are in dire need of funds? There are many needy families, students, abandoned wives who can be helped here in U.K.
Ram and Ram-rajya is around you, in form of host community.
