 Hope\nApril 20 - 27, 2002.\nEARTHQUAKE FACTSHEET\nBackground \nRecently 
 Afghanistan has been the scene of a number of earthquakes. The most 
 devastating of which occurred at 7:26pm local time (9:26 am Eastern time) 
 on 25 March 2002, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake which devastated Baghlan 
 province in northern Afghanistan in the Hindu Kush mountains. Afghan 
 officials estimate that 800-1000 people died, 4,000 people were injured, at 
 least 1,500 homes were destroyed and 20,000 people were rendered homeless. 
 \nThere are problems due to the poor quality of drinking water because the 
 debris from the earthquake has blocked some springs and river water has 
 become cloudy because of landslides. \nSeveral non-profit organizations 
 have implemented emergency relief programs in the earthquake –affected 
 areas. However, with blocked roads from fallen trees and landslides, 
 emergency work has become very difficult. RAWA, The Revolutionary 
 Association of the Women of Afghanistan, a group of Afghan women, often has 
 access that other aid organizations do not. For example, they are more 
 likely to convince a woman who is hurt to seek medical attention from one 
 of their mobile medical teams, as they are able to communicate with them in 
 Pashtu or Dari, the two Afghan languages. Another important point is that 
 RAWA, because of their steadfast struggle for women’s rights for over two 
 decades ensures that women and children receive aid relief. This is very 
 important especially because of the recent situation for women – to give 
 them the ability to provide for their families in this difficult time. RAWA 
 will supply earthquake-stricken Afghans with flour and cooking oil; 
 blankets and quilts; medicines and first aid. They will also provide 
 resources for rebuilding homes and help families get back on their feet. 
 While it’s true that the funds will be providing these supplies, the 
 women of RAWA will also deliver hope and strength – communicating the 
 message of this vigil with the victims. RAWA members personally distribute 
 all emergency aid to ensure that it reaches those who need it the most. 
 \nTo nurture a human being for 30 days costs just $30. The breakdown of 
 costs is as follows: food is $8, clothing $4, shelter $13 and first 
 aid/medicines $5. Even if you just send one dollar that pays for aid relief 
 funds for one person for one day. It may mean one more day of hope for that 
 person. \nRAWA successfully completed a similar program for the March 3 
 quake, which measured 7.1 on the Richter scale. RAWA distributed food among 
 earthquake victims in Khuram and Sarbagh villages of Samangan province in 
 Northern Afghanistan. Pictures of RAWA’s aid relief operations are 
 available at http://rawasongs.fancymarketing.net/samangan.htm and
