AOL members from all over the country are reaching out with offers of help. Several volunteers from Jalalabad, Faridkot, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Moradabad, Bangalore have reached here to offer their support. A team of 15 volunteers will be leaving from Dehradun today with 7 truckloads of supplies to set up a new camp in Dharasu. In addition, AOL vols have been working non-stop at the Jolly Grant airport, helping the IAF and Disaster Management teams in rescue work. Yesterday, the airport was only open to AOL vols as nobody else was allowed inside for security reasons. At the end of the day, the AOL team was lauded by the PRO of the IAF for their great work. Weather forecasts predict heavy rainfall again in Uttarakhand in the next 48 hrs. However, despite that the AOL team is determined to serve with a smile!! JaiGurudev, Shweta.
