Voice of Children Project
TRAS members responded quickly to the appeal for emergency funds to help our two local partner NGOs give aid to stricken villagers after the disastrous September floods in Uttarakhand, north India. A recent report from the field indicates the TRAS donations outfitted 62 families with clothing, bedding and food supplies, and helped with rebuilding houses. Thank you to our members!
