Assalamu Alaikum BAAWA EC & Naweed Bhai,
My small suggestion is that EC talk to Bangladeshi grocery business owners about setting a collection point /donation box which will be more convenient for many people.
I am sure AusBangla, TNT, Holly Indian Grocery wouldn't mind setting up donation box in their stores.
BAAWA can organise fundraising dinner and many other activities to collect funds.
I am sure BAAWA EC is well capable enough to handle and distribute this funds to the right channel.
Thanks
Mahi
I guess the real issue was not HELP, rather it was all about the delivery! Unfortunately, you are not saying anything about the real thing! My apology if I sound rude, but I mean business!

Subject: [BAAWA Members] Bangladesh Flood 2017, Appeal for Assistance
Dear Community Members,
Greetings. By this time probably most of you have come to know about the worsening flood situation in Bangladesh. Millions of people are affected and are in dire need of HELP. HELP, a word, the true meaning of which in this context, we most probably cannot fully comprehend.
With our meagre assistance, we may not achieve much, but if all of us extends a hand of support, a lot can be achieved.
Over the past few days we have seen a number of emails from our respected elders regarding this issue. We in the BAAWA team, have decided to make good use of the opportunity, in collecting donations from community members, during the Annual Cultural Program (ACP) on 26th of August 2017.
We have also decided to donate $2.00 from every packet of snacks sold during the event.
Please dig deep in your pockets and help us HELP the people in distress.
The drive during the ACP is one of the many other ways we intend to collect donation. If you miss out in helping this time, there will be other opportunities, which will be informed in this forum soon.
Kind Regards
Naweed Omar
On behalf of BAAWA Executive Committee
