Hyderabad: 'Hello Surfers"! Are you one of those compassionate and
concerned people trying to reach out to the victims of super cyclone
in Orissa, but still do not know how? Are you wishing to contribute
your mite to this noble cause without paying a single penny from your
pocket? No problem! you can do it while relying on www.causeanaffect.org,
the website launched by the city based Iridium Interactive, the Internet
and e-commerce division of Iridium Technologies (India) pvt ltd.
The process is simple. Once the surfer logs on to the site, on home
page, he will see the detailed data in connection with the 'Orissa
tragedy', besides a map of India with Orissa part blinking. Here the
surfer is required to click the yellow button, below the map. This
automatically makes the corporate 'sponsors' to donate 50 paise each
to Orissa chief minsiter's relief fund (OCMRF) on behalf of the surfer.
As already there are 18 such sponsors who have joined the venture,
each click would contribute Rs.9/- to the Orissa cause. The entire
amount, calculated at the end of the day, would be sent to the account
of OCMRF in the form of DD or a cheque. The site was formally unweiled
before newsmen here on Tuesday by director and Co-founder of Iridium
Interactive Sriram Bharatam, along with his colleagues in the venture.
However, one could not go on clicking endlessly with the hope of contributing
more. The programme has been written in such a way that only once
the donation is made per each person irrespective of the number of
clicks.
"Do your part to save a Life. All it takes is one click."
