Wolverhampton charity The Divine Onkar Mission sent a team of 20 people and three trucks full of food and clothes to the Indian flood stricken state of Bihar on the 1st September, 2008.The flood has affected over half a million people, with many tens of thousands of victims displaced, the government of India has declared it as a National Emergency. Clothes donated by Mann Brothers of West Bromwich and food were distributed by DOM volunteers to the victims in co-operation with the Indian Military and other local organisations. Most of the areas were isolated by water and the volunteers had to travel by boats to reach the victims. DOM founder and Chairman Mr Lal said, “As a charity, we feel proud for the service and aid provided to the flood victims. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people for their continued support towards this charity”. The DOM is hoping to donate more aid and is urgently seeking pubic support for donations of clothes, food and money. Pic1 Pic2 Pic3 Pic4 Pic5 Pic6

02/07/2008 Container donated by Mann brother Ltd
Another 40 foot container full of clothes and fabric rolls was sent to India on 3 March, 2008. The materials sent are collected by DOM from local people and organisation in United Kingdom. The container was organised and sent by Mann Brothers of West Bromwich whose continued support has enabled DOM to send clothing direct to the people who desperatelyeed it. We previously had sent night gowns that just could be belted around the waist. The gowns proved to be successful to people who couldn't manage to do up buttons or zips (numbness due to cold or as a result of leprosy) they were grateful to receive something that will help keep them warm and alive.

23/07/2007 £23,000 APPEAL FOR SCHOOL BUS
A Wolverhampton charity is trying to raise £23,000 to fund 2 school buses in India to help children from very poor and illiterate families in remote jungle areas of Orissa to get to their schools. Divine Onkar Mission is seeking support from local business’s and organisations to help boost funds for the much needed school buses. The organisation already provides homes, food, healthcare and education for deprived areas in India. Staff raise money through sponsors, regular donations and their charity shop in Drayton Street. Mr Tersam Lal, who started the mission in 1991 said: “we hope people will not only support our appeal but also come up with their own fundraising ideas to help us provide the bus and its staff. Without the bus children have to walk miles through forests in all sorts of extreme weather conditions which is very dangerous for their health and education.” Any local groups or individuals interested in helping with our appeal please contact our office on 01902 453453 or Tel/Fax 01902459911. PLEASE HELP
