Where are Kashmir and Assam? And what are Floods?
After the gyaan session on Mars
and the Mangalyaan. Rambo and
Pranks went to the topic of Floods
in Jammu and Kashmir, and Assam.
Rambo and Pranks wondered what
caused rivers to flood. That’s when
mumma told them that Floods occur
when it rains a lot, or when a lot of
snow melts suddenly. Mostly, places
that have a river flowing close by,
experience floods. A flood occurs,
when a river cannot hold the
amount of water flowing. Water
then overflows, causing floods.
In Jammu and Kashmir, continuous
rainfall led to the flooding of the
Jhelum and the Tavi rivers. In
Assam, it was the Bhramaputra
river which flooded.

Here’s a Prayer for the Flood Victims
Oh dear lord,
Please hear my plea.
Please take care of the people
The Assamese, Jammuites, and Kashmiris.
Give them health and the courage
To build back what they lost.
The families who have lost loved ones,
Need courage, to move ahead at all cost.
Give people the strength
To share and help others,
In this time of need,
We are all bothers and sisters.

A NOTE FOR PARENTS
We request you to log on to
Milaap.co.in/AchaBachaKashmirFloodRelief
Where we are selling the badges to gather funds
for the rehabilitation of children who have been
orphaned and rendered support-less because of
the floods in Kashmir. The badges cost only Rs
100, and we will retain INR 50 to cover shipping,
technology, and credit card expenses.
These badges are meant to motivate children to be
good; and what better than getting them as a
gratification for a good cause.
These badges are a tool. They are to be given to the
child, when he/she is obedient or adopts the habits
you want him to (like brushing before sleeping,
drinking milk on time etc.), and taken back when
the child doesn’t. When your child wears this
badge, he/she and you will feel proud of the way
you got it, so do go ahead and make the donation.
