Dear %salutation%,

The stories of those who have to rebuild their lives after destructive weather, can be devastating. Particulary the extremely poor, who may have nobody to turn to for help.
That's why, this month, we are saddened to bring you news from Haiti and India where terrible flooding has left the poorest of the poor more vulnerable than ever.

We also bring you an update from Bangladesh, where everyone who donated to our appeal last month, can see for themselves the difference you have made in the lives of those affected by the South Asia floods.

Kind Regards,

Tom Arnold
Concern Worldwide

Rebuilding Lives after South Asia Floods

Some of you may remember, receiving a letter from us last month about families in Bangladesh, who had lost their homes and everything they owned in terrible floods. Our Bangladesh workers recently sent us photographs of the rebuilding work. It is truly only with thanks to those among you that donated to this appeal that some of these families have been able to rebuild their lives. We are still rebuilding lives in Bangladesh but really need help to continue

Fighting Floods In India
