Appeal to help Right to Food campaign

[Kabir Arora]

Greetings

I am sending e-mail to a select group of people who had earlier showed interest in the work of Right to Food campaign. The campaign has been performing an important role in connecting all the grassroots across the country and co-ordinating various advocacy related work regarding food security in the country. If you wish to know more about it, you can visit our website at http://www.righttofoodindia.org/ or join our Facebook page.

The Right to food campaign holds a secretariat for it's co-ordination work, which comprises one full-time person presently. The campaign secretariat is facing serious financial crunch at this point of time, with a few thousand left in the accounts. Apart from the co-ordination, the work of the secretariat also includes dissemination of information on right to food activities to the campaign members in India and other interested people/organizations through the website, the e-groups, primers, the campaign updates etc. The secretariat also organizes and co-ordinates meetings and conventions. As explained in the appeal the secretariat functions on a shoe-string budget. Apart from the office expenditure, the funds are used for getting our primers and other publications printed. Updated accounts and detailed information can be found at www.righttofoodindia.org. The Secretariat of the campaign has a policy of accepting donation from individuals and in rupees only. 

I personally request you to help the campaign by finding some willing individuals who are ready to commit at leasta Rs. 500/- a month on regular basis to help ensure smooth operations. [An appeal for further circulation is also attached.]

Thanks in anticipation
