Humanitarian Plea: Help Jessore

Please read the attached article by Dr. Md. Zafar Iqbal. You can also visit the permanent link from the Shuchinta website at: http://www.shuchinta.com/archives/64

At least 400,000 people are living in water twenty four hours a day in Jessore! There is virtually no land, or drinking water, or food available for all these people.

Please share this with as many people as you can. We NEED to create public opinion and pressure to address this issue. I feel ashamed to admit that I had no clue something like this is happening in our country.

Please use ALL your contacts in any and every place that you can and see if you can at least try to make something happen. If you have any ideas about how we can address this issue better, please let us know.

PLEASE, act on this.

Ahmadinejad Has a Point

It is hard to dispute the Iranian president's argument that the UN security council has become a creature of the US, and a rubber stamp for self-interest.
