Leh Floods – Help required for relief work

Help required for Leh floods relief

A friend and photographer Sankar Sridhar is heading to Leh on 11 Aug 2010 to help with the flood relief work there. He knows the area and people well – he will be able to contribute to the relief work immensely if we all support him. The floods and mud slide has left Leh in shambles and it’ll take a lot more individual effort and contribution to try and rehabilitate the people who have lost everything in this natural disaster. A fund has been setup to support him, please be generous and transfer :

I visited Leh in June 2009, here are some photos from the trip. Leh and its surrounding areas are the most beautiful locations in India – at the same time, they are difficult to access and live in. In such a calamity, one can only imagine how the people there will suffer. While we all wish we could be there to provide support, it’s only bold men like Sridhar who dare to take on the responsibility. The least we can do is support him in all ways possible.
