Help needed with rent for 26/11 victim - Bombay

Excerpts from http://indiahelps.blogspot.com/2009/10/help-needed-with-rent-for-2611-victim.html are below:

I went with Santosh Singh (Poonam Singh's husband) and Sachin (son) to Dr Panchal at Mahim. Dr Panchal made us take an x-ray and felt that there perhaps no chance. The ring finger on Sachins left hand, one joint is not there. It has fused to become one stiff bone with no mobility. He said that plastic surgery could take care of the bump.
He has guided us to another doctor at Chembur, called Dr Hemant Pathankar who specialises in hand surgery. I called him, he has asked me to call him next Wednesday night at 9 pm for next Thursday appt. I may not manage to go next Thursday.

Santosh Singh needs help - Rs 1500/- pm towards rent. He came down to the base of the slum and got a home with an attached toilet as Poonam lacks mobility (She was injured on her legs and is currently undergoing physiotherapy to regain mobility). I had promised to help if he moved down. The rent is Rs 3000/- pm. We need to pitch in with Rs 1500/- pm.

As I had asked for proof, he has given me a copy of the rent agreement. He also gave me bills worth Rs 1500/- for Poonam's treatment.

Edited to add: If you would like to help Poonam Singh with Rs 1500/- pm, please do write in to us and we will forward you the bank account details for Santosh and Poonam Singh. We need only 10 kind souls to chip in with Rs 1500/- to enable this lady live a life of dignity.

Support Prajnya's Campaign against Gender Violence

From: Anupama Srinivasan
Date: 2009/10/29
Subject: FundACause: Prajnya 16 Days Campaign against Gender Violence

Dear Ms. Parekh,

I'm writing to request you to post this on the FundACause page.

Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Anupama

Prajnya  is a Chennai-based non-profit, working on areas related to peace, justice and security.

Between 25 November and 10 December every year, Prajnya organises the 16 Days Campaign against Gender Violence. Through this campaign, we look to raise awareness of the different ways in which women in particular are vulnerable to violence, at home, at their place of work, on campuses and in public spaces.Over 16 days, we conceptualise and organise 16 different programmes, at different locations across the city, with different partners and for different audiences.

We do this through a broad, inclusive, structural and human rights approach to genderbased violence; by forging partnerships to create a network for action; by involving diverse audiences including educational institutions, corporate groups and civil society organisations; and by working with innovative media and programme formats.

Violence against women isn’t a private concern. It affects every single one of us at every stage of life. For this reason, the 16 Days Campaign is a collective exercise that we undertake with our partners, our volunteers and our friends!

Please support the campaign with a donation. And of course, please spread the word!

If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, please write to us at prajnya.16days@gmail.com

And read about the planning process and give us your ideas at prajnya16days.blogspot.com

THANK YOU!!

 

The Prajnya Team

Another message from the team:

Dear Friends of Prajnya,

We've been fundraising for this year's campaign and while we have a steady trickle of individual donations, we remain short on funds.

Our budget is really very lean, with most of us donating time, overheads being underwritten by another organization and very frugal programme planning. However, we still need at least a couple of substantial donations to make the difference.

Can you help us raise this money? http://www.prajnya.in/give.htm has details on how to donate to Prajnya. But we can also send you some more information about the campaign and Prajnya to share with potential donors. If you would like to try and help us this way, do let us know.

PLEASE NOTE: We are only able to receive funds from Indians living in India. Unfortunately, FB doesn't let us customize mailing lists so everyone has this in their inbox. Sorry about that!

Thank you for your help!

Funding for a Docu on an Art Form


Posted by: "Anshul Tiwari" anshul.tiwari@gmail.com

Wed Oct 28, 2009

Subject: Funds for documentary

Hi,

Does anybody know of a funding organization/ agency who can provide me
funding support for my next documentary film?

I am planning to showcase the "Dokra Art" through video and tapes. This is
an ancient tribal art form in India which is unique and elegant yet
endangered. My team wants to make a short documentary to the origins and
evolution of this art form, the struggles of today's Dokra artists.

This is not a high budget film. But I am looking for some minimum funds to
accomplish this project.

Please share your information at anshul.tiwari@gmail.com

I shall be obliged if you could help me with some relevant info.
Thanks and best regards

Anshul
