The recent floods in Punjab have caused a lot of devastation . A large number of schools, colleges, hospitals and roads have been destroyed or severly damaged. Thousands of people have become homeless. Thousands of acres of fertile soil has been swept away by rivers. More than sixty people have lost their lives. In times like these our brothers and sisters in the Punjab need a lot of help. The NRIs around the globe have opened their hearts and wallets to help them. Here in Canada ,the response has been amazing. A large number of individuals, organizations and entities have done a marvellous job in helping our Punjabi brothers ans sisters. The radiothons held by a number of our communty's  radio stations  have raised millions of dollars in this regard. At India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwas,8600 #5 Road, Richmond, the Gurdwara Management Committee also started a fundraising campaign a few weeks ago. The response has been overwhelming. The Gurdwara Mangement is very thankful to each donor. Every dollar thus collected will be sent to help the needy in Punjab. Thank you for your generosity. Balwant Singh Sanghera, Secretary.
