Student Efforts To Aid Earthquake Victims Successful but Far from Over

According to Patni, Abhiyan fit the bill.

"All of the 14 member NGOs are working together and leading the effort, advising the public and the government as well," she said.

Patni and the leaders of the other involved organizations expressed confidence in Abhiyan's ability to continue to be at the forefront of the distribution of relief to earthquake victims and their families.

And student groups, including Dharma and the Harvard Christian Fellowship (HCF), have offered their support in publicizing the drive, she said.

HCF, whose members have been preparing baked goods to be given away for donations, has begun tabling with them and has decided to send any further proceeds it makes from the sale of the baked goods to Abhiyan as well, according to representatives of the group.

"We also plan to place pre-addressed donation envelopes in University Hall and in the graduate schools and have enlisted the help of professors in making announcements in their classes," Patni said.

Campaign members say the publicity drive has met with a tremendous response.
