Children and orphans in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh

An appeal from the SOS Children's Villages of India:
"The SOS Children's Villages of India is setting up Emergency Child Relief Centres in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, especially in the worst affected areas of Nagapattinam and Cuddulore. We will take in as many children as we can reach. A team of SOS co-workers and SOS Mothers who have expertise in providing care to children in such circumstances will manage the relief camps. Ultimately, children who remain with us will be provided long term care at SOS Children's Village.
The SOS Children's Villages of India is a voluntary child-care organisation providing direct and indirect care to about 2 lakh children in India....
The SOS Children's Villages of India appeals to you to contribute donations of any amount for emergency relief work for the children affected by the devastating tidal wave in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh."
