Dear Friends,
I initially set out to raise 2500 for Muslims Hands to provide a shelter. But as a Slough resident I'd like to also support Slough based Charity Khalsa Aid who are currently on the ground in Myanmar- Bangladesh border offering humanitarian aid.
Can you spare the equivalent of a days lunch or for go that luxury item this month to help support those in crisis? If so please donate whatever you can.
On Wednesday the UN 15-member Security Council met behind closed doors, at the request of Sweden and Britiain, to discuss the crisis for the second time since it began and agreed to publicly condemn the situation.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, Antonio Guterres called the situation for the Rohingya refugees "catastrophic" and "completely unacceptable", acknowledging that the minority group was being ethnically cleansed in the Buddhist-majority nation.
I trust you can find it with in your hearts to help Khalsa Aid in their continuing efforts to displaced and persecuted refugees of Myanmar.
Eternally grateful
Sabia - humble Slough resident
