Highlights Of #AllForBengal Telethon: Donate To Help Bengal Recover
Cyclone Amphan has torn through West Bengal. Many parts of the state, including the city of joy, have been devastated. Lakhs of homes have been damaged. Crops in thousands of acres destroyed. Livelihoods lost. The poorest have been hit the hardest. Now your support will help the people of Bengal recover from this cyclone's devastation. Join us to help the poorest who have suffered the most in Bengal. Your donations will help provide food and medication to those who need it the most.
Here are the highlights of the #AllForBengal Telethon:
Dia Mirza, Actor, Producer, UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador and UN Secretary General's SDGs Advocate:
I have a deep personal connection with Bengal, my mother is Bengali. I spent many of my summer vacations growing up in Kolkata. My first Bengali film 'Paanch Adhyay' will always be very special to me. While I was filming 'Ganga, The Soul of India' I spent many hours, many beautiful precious moments engaging with local artisans, musicians, farmers, activists, tribes and people across West Bengal.
Whether it is our art or architecture, craft, culture, cuisine, poetry, science, the technology we owe so much of what we celebrate to Bengal. I hope that we can collectively stand in solidarity with the people of West Bengal.
While we continue to do the best we can, to help with relief work for COVID-19, I think it should be equally compelling on our conscience to help rebuild the lives of those who have been affected by cyclone Amphan. Thank you NDTV for doing this and for making the difference that you are.
