Vigil for the Victims and Survivors of the South Asian Earthquake
To grieve for lives lost, provide hope to those still struggling to survive, draw the world?s attention to the work that still needs to be done
Tuesday, November 8, 2005
South Plaza ? Union Square Park

On October 8, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck South Asia effectively destroying entire towns and villages. Due to the severe cold weather, lack of shelter, and lack of urgent medical attention, the tragedy wreaked by this disaster continues. As of October 28:
79,000 confirmed dead in Pakistan; 1,500 dead in India
Over 15,000 are believed to be school children.
Over 74,000 injured
Over 3 million homeless in Pakistan
10,000 children at risk of dying in the next 2 weeks from hypothermia
100,000 survivors at risk of dying in 4 weeks
these numbers will rise significantly in the next weeks as winter sets in
Join our vigil so our individual voices can be one loud message of support, hope and action. THEY STILL NEED US -- WE MUST NOT ABANDON THEM
