MEDICINE DRIVE IN SAN JOSE:
"At least 20,000 people are said to have died as a huge earthquake
flattens a city in southeast Iran. The ancient city of Bam has been
devastated - most of its buildings have been flattened including two
hospitals and a 16th Century citadel."
Cyrus Travel is sponsoring the relief efforts and has volunteered to
send ALL medicine collected to Iran. Additionally, they will
sponsor travel costs for any doctor who is willing to travel to
Iran. Please contact Mr. Mansour Hariri at 415-398-6111 for more
info.
Everyone has heard the above news. We know the earthquake in Bam,
Kerman-Iran, has destroyed the city. There are thousands of people
who lost their lives in this devastating tragedy. There are also
thousands of people who are injured and need our help. Two of my
relatives have lost their loved ones in this earthquake and they are
departing from San Francisco for Bam/Iran on Sunday. I am
collecting medicines of all kind that are not expired so the
families can take them to Iran for distribution to the injured
people.
Please bring your extra or unused medicines especially Antibiotics &
Painkillers to This Persian store "Bazar Norouz in 1390 S Bascom
Ave., San Jose" as soon as possible. I also would like to ask you a
favor of sharing this e-mail with whoever you think that could be of
help.
I will go to Iran with my husband next week on January 4, 2004, and
we will take some more medicine too. You can also donate money or
blood to Red Cross near you. The Red Cross web address is
www.redcross.org. Your help is appreciated in any way you can.
