100% OF DONATED FUNDS TO REACH TSUNAMI VICTUMS THIS WEEK

Media outlets have brought the reality of the tsunami disaster to our homes. We have watched with helpless disbelief and incredulity the enormous number of lives lost and homes destroyed.

And now, as the world’s attention turns to the relief mission, Elliottician is providing a way for we-the-spectators to become active participants in the global relief mission.

Elliottician’s Founder, Richard Swannell, also operates and funds the Hebron Orphanage in the tsunami-affected area of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India.

Located close enough to serve the disaster zone, but for enough away to retain full infrastructure, access to medical supplies, Hebron Orphanage is poised to provide life-saving support.

With countless children strewn along the coast – many injured, orphaned, and lacking food, clean water and shelter – the need for support is unparalleled.

“My team, on the ground right now in Southern India, is searching for and rescuing these children,” said Swannell, “We are providing emergency medical assistance and shelter. And in the long term, we will support and educate them until adulthood.”

With aid agencies yet to reach the area, the need for urgent action is vital.

Many are sympathetic spectators, but it is those who are willing to take tangible action that will benefit the people of Southern India. Become an active participant by donating.

“One hundred percent of the money will be used to rescue children from the disaster area. Absolutely no infrastructure costs will be deducted,” said Swannell, “It will immediately be used to fund the rescue of children this week while they are still amongst the living.”

So far pledges of $100,000 have been made and Swannell will arrive in India before the end of the week to personally coordinate the relief mission based at Hebron Orphanage.

But the need for funding is desperate. Can you help? Donate now and save lives.
