An appeal from Sakshum
Monday, March 23, 2009
Dear all,
Summer 2009 is in fulll swing , most of the lakes, ponds are showing up the dried earth now. We have our eyebrows raised about stocks of water for our sundry daily uses leave apart for drinking purposes. But have we thought about drinking water availability for birds ?
Newspapers are glut with figures of dying birds due to thirst. That is good enough reason for us to give a thought to this menace for this cute and quiet fraternity.
Request you all to start putting up a small clean pot of water on their terrace at the most visible and cool corner and clean and fill it daily. Sakshum's volunteer Vinay Jain is already practicing this since last couple of days and have personally seen birds sitting on the pot to satiate their thirst..
By watch it's going to cost you 3 minutes but believe me it can save 3 lives...So make your minutes invaluable.. ...
Be Good and make others Good....

hey, this is real but we tend to forget n get indulge so much in ourselves n forget every thing else.
i ll surely follow this
thats a nice idea...i will also try to follow........
from last one year we are filling a bucket full of water under a tree at my place.. on an average.. 20-30 birds drink water from it.. its great to see them and contributing some thing for them... also stared a shared pot on the road side of my home.. where street dogs drink water from it.. not a great contribution but felt sharing the same... and good idea.. to create an awareness...
now this one is so noble! i went about stealing chapatis from the hostel mess and feeding the stray dogs but never thought about this one!
