Fundraising held in support of Southern Kyrgyzstan in Washington, DC.
As the humanitarian calamity deepens in the South of Kyrgyz Republic and suffering continues, we can no longer only offer our sympathies and hopes for a peaceful settlement. Though from this far there is a limitation on what we can do and achieve, but this is certainly the moment to mobilize resources for humanitarian aid. We have been discussing the possibilities with the national and international organizations including the Kyrgyz Embassy in London and representations from the neighboring states on how to be effective in these difficult times.
