This is in continuation to my earlier post about a collection center in GK. Today, I have visited the collection center in GK that I cited earlier.
I met Uday. He said that they are using this location as a collection centre for multiple organisations working on the ground, whichever org has permission or access into the community. Whatever various organisations need, they are providing them.
Khalsa Aid was the primary recipient so far, but they're temporarily overwhelmed. So tomorrow they will be dispatching their current stash to other orgs.
Uday's sister will soon relay to me a location and organisation in Okhla that would be a better place to send stuff, if we are sending truckloads of stuff in bulk from places like Gurgaon.
For tomorrow, Sunday 1 March, they need private vehicles to transport goods, and 4-6 volunteers to ride with hired tempos and load vehicles. They also need help sorting all their heaps of stuff.
At this time they need:
Sanitary pads
Baby food
Cooking oil
बाकी, they'll send out the stuff they currently have, tomorrow, and wait to hear from the organisations on the ground what further things they need.
These are good people. I've met them. I vouch for them. As of now, if you want to do something to help the victims of East Delhi, your best option is to donate material to these guys. It will reach the right and needy people, speedily. Their hearts are in the right place and they are as organised as someone can be. So, fire up your Amazon or BigBasket apps, and donate stuff to
M 76 Basement
GK2 M Block Market
Greater Kailash Part II
New Delhi
They are not accepting cash or online payments. No monetary collection of any kind.
