Orissa cyclone relief effort

On October 28 and 29, 1999, a cyclone swept into the Indian state of Orissa, leaving unimaginable devastation in its wake. It has been estimated that up to fifteen million people (out of a total population of thirty-one million) were left homeless, and thousands died. Orissa is a major center for work in the Integral Yoga. Rebuilding the centers will probably take years, perhaps a decade. One center alone (Sri Aurobindo Srikshetra Trust) reports more than $700,000 in damage.
