ANOTHER SHIPMENT OF GOODS SENT TO PORT BLAIR, ANDAMAN & NICOBER ISLAND
Another shipment of goods left for Port Blair from Vishakapattanam Port on 3rd' February evening by M V Akbar. The ship was delayed due to loading of large quantity of steel plates for building.
Due to devastating affects of Tsunami these Islands needs the supply of essential materials for a considerable period of time. People of some of the smaller and far off Islands still needs basic necessities such as food supplies, clothing, medicine, sleeping materials and supply of school materials. Ananda Marga will continue its supply of goods regularly from main land.
This time in our shipment we sent;
-
1000 family size Mosquito nets,
-
1000 sets of ladies and children garments each,
-
500 lantrens,
-
1800 toilet soaps and a large quantity of note books, pen and pencils for the school goers.
Andaman district Rotary Club gave us 3 truckload of rice, cooking oil, and other food materials which were taken to Nancowry Island for the Tsunami victims.
We should not forget to mention special thanks to Dr. Gopal Shastrijii who has done tremendous work along with his staff to send several shipments from Vishakhapattanam Port to Port Blair, Andaman & Nicober Islands for AMURT to distribute amongst the tsunami victims. Without his kind help it could be really very difficult to organize those shipments with the relief goods to Andaman and Nicober Islands.
