Please note the urgent need and support. Pictures of IAHV (offshoot of Art of Living) work at Sinjar mountains delivering badly needed supplies are given below. IAHV is recognized by UN and it is delivering badly needed supplies to Yezidis.
We should help not just because they have connection to India, it is because our humanity behooves us to respond. This is the holocaust of our time.

What is required:
IAHV (Guruji Sri Sri Ravi Shanker’s group ) collected food supplies with the help of other NGOs. US army helped to drop all this relief material in the Sinjar mountains.
1. We URGENTLY need funds to buy tents and winter clothing. 150 winter tents have to be purchase and sent immediately, each tent is about $150-$200. IAHV is working with another NGO that will send youths who will help put all these tents.
3. We URGENTLY need funds to purchase winter supplies and more food as what has been delivered is not enough for the people there. Whatever funds we can commit, IAHV-US can wire those funds and those on ground for volunteers to use them immediately.
