541 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড SP: km P. S. You may give your contribution to any relief organization you think meets your personal requirements for reaching the people it is intended for. This organization does not have any field operations in India or in Bangladesh, but channels funds through internationally recognized relief organization mentioned in our news release or Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Relief Fund, which has been the largest recipient of our funds $100,000.) The Finance Committee announced its first cash grants of $100,000 allocated as follows: 1. $20,000 to UNICEF 4. $10,000 to American Red Cross 2. $20,000 to CARE, Inc. 5. $10,000 to Church World Service 3. $20,000 to International 6. $10,000 to Catholic Relief Services Rescue Committee 7. $10,000 to Prime Minister's Relief Fund An outstanding New York advertising agency, Doyle Dane Bernbach, has prepared a public service campaign for radio, television, newspapers and magazines. The campaign is being presented to network and magazine representatives across the country. The organization is asking for sustained coverage over a thirteen week period on all media. Refugees continue to pour into India at the rate of 30,000 each day. Unless relief is provided for them on a massive scale, hundreds of thousands will die of starvation and disease. For only 33c a day, it is possible to pick up one Bengali child, give him food and cholera vaccine, carry him to high ground and assure his survival. This amounts to only $10 a month, for the next six months. During this period, it is expected that a peaceful solution will be reached which allows the refugees to return in safety to their homeland. "We want to develop a people-to-people campaign," Mr. Poddar stated. "If we can find at least one American family to make a commitment to care for just one Bengali baby, or child, or mother, or father, it will be the greatest rescue operation in human history." Concerned citizens should organize fund raising efforts in their local areas. They can begin by calling a meeting of prominent church, civic, and educational groups to form the leadership for a community-wide drive. Individuals should contact their local media to request free time and space for the national media campaign.
