Subject: Fw: Blue Yamuna Team members reached Nagapattinum and have requested for more supplies.
Thanks, Raj and others for your wishes....
....I got a call this morning (Sat. Jan 15) at 5:38 AM and picked up our small radio/Alarm clock and started to bang it to stop...and then realized it was the phone ringing...and there was Diplu saying "...are you sleeping..." "..well go ahead.." I replied...Diplu started then ".....we arrived at 5 AM (IST) at Nagapattinam, South India and went to the committee for offering the water purification tablets, when the committee suggested that we should go to the next village to the south, Kenchakeppam?, where 700 people died. They drink water from the water well and they desperately need to have germ-free, bacteria free water. We went to that village, met with the village committee president, showed them what we brought, and demonstrated the purification method with 2 tablets from bottle 1, and subsequent polishing method using tablets from the yellow-capped bottle no. 2. There were two engineers there who work in Malayasia but have families here in this village. They took over the task of purification of this water, and will distribute 25 liters of drinking water per family they said. The supplies are not enough. Could you send 1000 more tablets, both bottle 1 and 2?".
I replied "..still trying to pronounce properly, Kenchakeppam, right?, Okay, Diplu, I'll try to send that as quickly as possible to Mr. Mootha's address in Chennai".
Diplu said thereafter "talk to Justine".. Justine Baruch from Denver Colorado, Ken Brakken's daughter, Hollie's friend, who is just 23, has a sincere desire to help and came forward. I told her on the phone to be very careful about her drinking water and any food that she takes...She said that she has a portable water pump, which makes clean and safe drinking water, and she is carrying that with her. "Great! I said and keep up the good spirit..."
Anyway, I'm running behind because of some of the pre-commitments this morning which I'm about to finish and then run to REI or some other store to buy the supplies and arrange shipping to Mr. Mootha.
Mr. Mootha: I'll send a note later today with the status. Thanks for the two e-mails, I saw them this morning.
Subijoy.

Dear Subijoy,Perry, Rajaram
Hello!
I just received a phone call from Diplu from Nagapattinum.
They have reached and have met the collector of Nagapattinum and the President of a small village. They have shown them how to use the water purification tablets and the local residents are very happy with it and have requested for more supplies. As per Diplu another 1000 tablets of each type is required. Please do the needful and send them to Chennai and I will have it couriered to the collector.
Subijoy please call Diplu on his mobile at the earliest.
Regards,
Mootha

assistance to provide safe drinking water to about 50 families per day,
for about 7 days...that's our goal.
I'll

Dear Mootha Saab:
They
will be carrying a very small package containing
:
- A few 2-liter bottles (empty) and
possibly some dry food for their own consumption.
Hope
this clarifies the concern...and 20 minutes should be enough time for
them two make the
transfer of train.
Diplu should call Mr. Mootha and discuss the issue.

Dear
Dutta,
Hello!
This
is Mootha.
What
exactly is the purpose of your relef
work.
Are
you carrying any Food, Clothes, Medicine
for the relief work.The
reason why I am asking this is as you will have to change trains at Villipuram to go Nagapattinum and the time
available will be 20 minutes at Villipuram
and you will have to cross platforms to get
into the other train. With a lot of baggage it will
be difficult and we need to plan it accordingly.
Your
reply will help me plan every thing smoothly for you.
Regards,
Mootha.
