Jamia Students Collect and Deliver Relief Aid to Nepal Embassy

Youth for People, a Jamia law students group, has informed Jamia Journal that on Wednesday, April 29, they delivered all the donations they had collected in the past few days for the people affected by the Nepal earthquake, to the Nepal embassy in New Delhi.

According to Sahil Ahmed, a member of Youth for People, the Nepal embassy people were only accepting relief aid in physical goods and not money; so they used the money to buy blankets and tents and added that to the collection.

According to the receipt provided by the embassy to Youth for People, the following items were donated:

1. Tents – 50
2. Blankets – 65
3. New clothes – 8 large bags
4. Used clothes – 4 sacks
5. New footwear – 2 sacks and a box (about 300 shoes)
6. Medicine – 5 boxes
7. Food items – 15 boxes

 

Sahil Ahmed, on behalf of Youth for People, has asked Jamia Journal to publish a note expressing their gratitude to all the people who helped them in their effort. We publish his note below:
