DELMA - Fund Raiser for Kerala

Dear friends,

The State of Kerala is going through its worst natural disaster in over a century with heavy rain, landslides and flash floods. To date, there are hundreds of reported deaths while thousands are in make shift shelters and camps. There is a dire need for essentials like food, water, medicines etc. Delaware Malayalee Association (a Kerala cultural organization in Delaware, USA) is organizing a fund drive to benefit the Kerala Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) and other eligible groups to support the massive humanitarian and rehabilitation effort.
