Hundreds of people died or are missing near Dhubri when a cyclone hit a crowded passenger ferry on the Brahmaputra on April 30th this year. As a token of support in this hour of need, Assam Foundation of North America (AFNA) has pledged to immediately donate USD 1000 for relief work from its general fund. Please increase the impact of this relief fund by sending your own donation to AFNA for this purpose by May 21st.

You can make your donation check to 'AFNA', indicating '2012 Dhubri Cyclone Relief' on the memo line, and mail it to our treasurer: Pallav Saikia (AFNA), 5991 Corte Cerritos, Pleasanton, CA 94566. All donations to AFNA are tax deductible (AFNA is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization). You can also donate online at our website, www.assamfoundation.net. Even after the deadline, AFNA will appreciate any donations to help replenish our general fund.
