Relief response to Bangladesh cyclone

Episcopal Relief and Development launches an appeal for financial support to support its aid to the victims of the recent cyclone that hit Bangladesh

As of today [19 Nov] 7 million people have been uprooted and reports say the death toll may reach as high as 10,000. In the worst affected districts, the low-lying coastal regions, 90 per cent of homes and 95 percent of rice crops and prawn farms were obliterated by the 150 mph winds, which generated a 20ft tidal surge that swept everything from its path.

To help people affected by the Cyclone in Bangladesh, please make a donation to ERD’s “Emergency Relief Fund/Bangladesh Cyclone” online at http://www.er-d.org/, or call 1-800-334-7626, ext. 5129. Gifts can be mailed to: Episcopal Relief and Development “Emergency Relief Fund/Bangladesh Cyclone” P.O. Box 7058, Merrifield, VA 22116-7058.

Church Times has a good story with photos.
