Dear My Brother
Being
a regular reader of the newspaper, you must have read about the drought conditions
prevailing in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. This is the second consecutive year when
the rain-gods refused to smile on this ill-fated region.
Western
Rajasthan is a part of the Thar Desert, with a sea of sand and no vegetation. Failure of
rains results in a great disaster for the people as well as their cattle. They are really
leading a very hard life.
We,
the students of my class, with a view to help our unfortunate brethren, decided to raise
relief funds. We formed groups and went to each house in the neighbouring colonies.
Responding to our appeal, the people donated generously. We also organised a Charity Show
and a Mini Fair in our colony.
People
manifested their deep concern and helped us with clothes, medicines and cash. We were able
to collect Rs. one lakh eighty thousand within a fortnight.
We
are sending a team of boys to Jaisahocr to distribute the funds to the needy people.
Your
loving brother
