Neu Year Greetings - 1994 • from Community Health Cell J

This is to thank you for your participation in the BANGALORE
RELIEF EFFORTS in helping the Earthquake affected of Marathuada
region.
Your concern and solidarity at this time of disaster was truly
overwhelming. Ue take this opportunity to inform you’Auhat

The Bangalore team collaborated with the Catholic Hospital
Association of India (CHAI) - SANGHI group, which had earlier
established its base camp at Nandurga, in the district of Latur.
It works in eight other villagesaround Nandurga - Sarani,
Hasalgan, Haregaon, Sankrai, Uadi, Nandurga Tanda, Limbada Tanda
and Flangrol. These areas were selected because no one else was
working here, and the need was as much as in any other place.

The Bangalore team worked along with other volunteers, mainly in
the areas of curative and preventive medical relief, Also the
needy were identified and the relief materials distributed as per
their needs. Ue are happy to assure you that close contact was
developed with the villagers and an excellent rapport was built
up. This helped in reaching the relief material collected to those
who needed it most. By the end of the first month the CHAI SANGHI group had come to be known as the ’Hyderabad - Bangalore
Team’ among the villagers.
