Friends in Alpha Phi Omega,
This is a message that was cross-posted from another bulletin board.
From what I understand money is more immediately necessary than
supplies right now. Because it is so much in the news and people's
minds right now, a fund-raiser (even collecting change in cans) might
really help. Even a little American money goes a long way in India.
