I'm in India right now. Delhi to be exact. Every state in India has donated approx. $1 to 10 million. The very, very rich Indian corporatins have donated about the same. All government employees have donated a days worth of pay. The President, VP, and Prime Minister have donated their yearly salary. India does not need the money...trust me on that.
I spoke to my business associate in Bangalore, their company is pouring in as much as they can, and still remain in business.
So, they are like the USA, they rally together to help their own?
This is so fabulous to read.
Considering the fact that two years ago, during Hurricane Isabel, one of the counties in North Carolina that Isabel didn't even come close to and/or hit had the highest requests for "storm aid," that surely is heartening to hear.
Believe me, we weren't denigrating India; just the fact that a country would actually take care of itself! You have to realize that some countries that don't need it will take it!
I believe you.
I didn't want to come out and say that they have folks loaded down with cash who will spend it, cuz I didn't know how that would sound (read).
Wow, India HAS come a long way. I am glad to hear this!
Man, this place (FR) never ceases to amaze me in how good a source it is for info!!!
