Dear Nitya,

I am a volunteer with AID (Association for India's Development). We are trying
to contact NGOs and individuals providing relief and engaged in rehabilitation
on the islands. I was wondering if you can tell me something more about what the
situation is on the ground there, and if you can recommend some groups that you
saw/heard working to help the general public.

Thanks and bye,
Vidya Jonnalagadda.

P.S: Is there any place where I can read a detailed report on this meeting
between the LG and the press/NGOs?
