Helping the flood victims

I went to my village to see for myself the condition of flood victims. It was really pathetic as I saw people struggling to keep themselves afloat. I tried to raise funds with donations from the affluent in our locality (Naya Paltan). I think we still have misgivings about relief operations. Some people even thought that my humble effort was aimed at drawing the attention of others. They even smelled some ulterior motive! It is really surprising that even the people who can afford to help the victims do not come forward. They should come to the rescue of flood victims with whatever they have at their disposal. It is their duty to help the people in distress.
