Subject: Re: Update on flood situation in Orissa
To: dhanadam@gmail. com
Dear All;
We had a meeting at Pratham office in Cuttack to take stock of the
flood situation, relief work and our plan for the the rehabilitation
phase. About 50 bloock coordinators of Patham along with about 10
district coordinators and 5 zonal cordinators and others attended the
meeting. We also had representatives of UNICEF who attended the
meeting to explore possibility of opening informal education centers
in worst hit areas of the flood zone until schools are back to normal.
In the morning, a brief motivational training session was organised by
Madhusudan Das (ex-AID Saathi and National Youth Project Coordinator)
to motivate the volunteers for engaging in flood relief work with
energy and enthusiasm. He also shared his considerable experience of
working in disasters such as the Super Cyclone. Following the training
every one present wrote a one page report on their experience of the
flood in their area and the work they have been engaged in the last 10
days. Subsequently, 10 small groups were made under leadership of
district coordinators to go out and collect donations from public in
Cuttack city. A total Rs. 5087/- in cash was raised and a lot of
materials such as clothes, biscuit packets, medicines etc. where
collected in large quantity. The experience of interacting with the
public was very instructive. For example the team that I was with
collected donations from shops and petrol pump and passers by. People
invariably helped with amounts ranging from 50p to 100 Rs. Most of
them shared their experience of the flood as many of them either were
from nearby flood affected villages. People with tears in their eyes
described how they had to pull out their near and dear ones from the
flood and how they have been sending help to their near and dear ones.
While many cursed politicians and professional social workers who use
the disasters for their personal benefits, but everybody appreciated
Pratham's work and helped to their capability. It was a great
opportunity to raise consciousness and awareness about the plight of
flood affected.
It was decided to take up the following work in the next phase:
1. A list of about 58 sites were selected to start Alternative
Learning Centers for Chidlren in relief camps and or badly damaged
villages wih non-functional schools. One or two volunteers from the
area will be engaged in this work under supervision of block
coordinators. A honorarium of Rs. 250/- per volunteer will be paid for
one month or until situation improves significantly.
2. The package of compensation announced by government will be printed
and distributed to all volunteers (10000 copies) so that people would
be aware about the compensation package. Pratham volunteers will help
those who are unable to get the compensation due to various
difficulties and corruption.
3. A letter was given to BDO of different blocks to involve Prathama
and its vounteers in the ongoing relief work - particularly in
distribution of bleaching powder and halogen tablets to help purify
contaminated water bodies in villages.
At the end of the meeting each Block cordinator left with a packet of
relief materials and Teaching Learning materials for use in
his/herrespective areas.
So far an expense of 1.63 lakhs has been incurred from the funds made
available by AID. A break up of the expenses will be provided in a day
or two.
Regards,
Dhanada
