In the USA, CLP youth leaders are organizing some relief efforts to support the work of TYCL (CLP-India) leaders in India.

The following items are welcomed:
- Quality pens, pencils, markers
- Notebooks
- Letters of support (for children and youth) using pictures and items from home
- Items of support (very small bears, cards, etc.)
- Money (can be donated on MLK Day of Service at Arlanza Garden on the 16th or online)
Items can be dropped off in Mr. Mason's room, Room 206 or at the MLK Day of Service on January 16th at the Arlanza Community Garden.

Village People are on the Road for Food and Shelter
CMC village people have given a written request to local government after receiving "NO RESPONSE" of assistance for three days (02/01/2012). The community blocked the road more than one and half hours in an effort to receive safe water, food and shelter. They blocked the road from CMC Village, Pondicerry to Chennai Highway (East Coast Road). After huge traffic at the highway, the Local Administration officer, Block Development office and Police came and said that they will try to assess the village and make decisions for relief and rehabilitation.
All the village women, men and children took part in this "ROAD BLOCK". TYCL and MUGHIL Social Welfare Organization young adults are trying to provide safe drinking water and food to needy people and children at the village.
