Thank you to everyone expressing an interest in helping us get supplies to our workers on the ground in Haiti. While money is an urgent need and can be donated at Amurt.net we have a Margii, (member of the Yogic group Ananda Marga), in Florida who owns a shipping company who has been working with Haitian volunteers for many years. I’d like to emphasize that AMURT has been on the ground in Haiti for 20 years and is committed to remaining there as long as needed. This letter gives an update of our work to date and lists the needs requested by our workers. Only volunteers who meet the criteria below are needed at this time.

LOCAL DROP-OFF POINT FOR SUPPLIES IS 22 RAVENSCROFT DR. Parallel to Church St. off of Hilliard Ave. Day and evening hours. LOCAL CONTACTS FOR AMURT ARE: Didi Ananda’usa: 828.255.8777; Bhavesh, (Brett), Sculthorp: 828.778.5105.

From our local Didi, (nun):

Dear sisters and brothers, Namaskar

We just got a call from Krsnapriya who is driving the big truck to Miami.
She called saying that all the supplies from Philadelphia couldn’t be gathered at the meeting point timely and that she is still has half truck full only.
She requested us to meet her tomorrow along I-95, most likely in SC, with whatever we got.
SO, PLEASE, bring to us whatever you can arrange today, latest by tomorrow morning.
We will collect more things to send next week too.

THey need everything that we can send . Example:

Water purification tablets and hydration powders, and
Water filters
Nutritious Food (grains, cans, dry fruits, crackers, nuts, powder items, pastas, oil, sugar, salt, etc…....)
Medical supplies
Sheets and blankets
Tarps
Tents
Baby clothes only
Art and educational materials
Big Pots and kitchen utensils
Hygiene items
ETC, etc,,,,,,,, tools, candles, torches…..............

Hope that we can gather maximum amount of things to send TOMORROW.
