O2 SOS…

As a severe 2nd wave of COVID-19 infections wreaks havoc in India, one of the most pressing challenges has been shortage of medical oxygen to treat critical patients. Not just individuals but even hospitals have been using social media to issue SOS calls. COVID-19 patients are dying not of the disease itself, but because they were unable to get the oxygen support needed in time, even while in hospital.

Please donate for oxygen concentrators

Oxygen supply has been erratic or non-existent. Lives of many patients on non-invasive ventilation, Covid pneumonia or acute respiratory distress, are at risk. Patient’s relatives have unconsolably described how they have been begging for oxygen, from pillar to post. Shocking stories emerge. Please donate for oxygen to save precious lives. Genrosity & compassion is appreciated to help alleviate the suffering of humanity.

Red Panda…

Red Panda is slightly larger than a domestic cat with a bear-like body & thick russet fur. Belly & limbs are black, white markings on the head & above small eyes. Red Panda’s are very skilful & acrobatic animals that predominantly stay in trees. Almost 50% of the Red Panda’s habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. They use their long, bushy tails for balance & to cover themselves in winter for warmth. Primarily an herbivore, the name Panda is said to come from the Nepali word ‘Ponya’ which means a bamboo or plant eating animal.

Climate change is impacting Red Panda’s. Less than 10,000 left in the wild. Loss of nesting trees & bamboo is the main cause. Poached for their distinctive pelts in China & Myanmar. Red Panda fur caps are found for sale in Bhutan. Approximately 38% of the total Red Panda habitat is in Nepal. Endangered.
