Appeal

Bharathi is teaming up with India Youth for Society (IYFS), Visakhapatnam, A.P., India. IYFs’s volunteering team headed by Mr. Y. Appalareddy is making a serious effort to minimize the pollution caused by plastics in Visakhapatnam.. It is a laudable effort.. Bharathi Theertha wishes to show case their work as a model to emulate. Yours truly, Prakasam Tata, President of Bharathi Theertha, witnessed, participated, and has been supporting IYFS’s efforts. IYFS certainly deserves your help, and is in need of a pick up truck to collect plastic bottles and other wasted plastic materials (dry plastic waste only) from individual homes, restaurants, offices, railway station etc., and process them for recycle and reuse.

A Mahindra Bolero Pik Up truck with a two year maintenance guarantee and a buy back guarantee by the company after four years of use at half of its original cost seems to be the optimal way to buy this pick up truck i. Its cost to make it ready by fitting with additional infrastructure and protection from rain will cost approximately Rs. 8,15,000 (~$11,600) in Visakhapatnam, A.P., India

Bharathi Theertha wishes to raise the money by a challenge grant to match the contributions by charity minded persons. The holiday season is approaching. Let us offer our Thanks for what we possess and Donate for the blessings that we have been receiving. Bharathi Theertha will match contributions one to one.

Please donate via Bharathi Theertha’s website or write a check in dollars. YOur contributions are tax deductible. Those who wish to contribute in rupees, please write a check in favor of India Youth for Society and mail it to C/o Dr. Prakasam Tata, 1213 Stonebriar Court, Naperville, IL 60540. A minimum donation of $50.00 is suggested. But, any amount received will be acknowledged.

Bharathi Theetha would like to unveil the pick up truck at an International Conference onn Waste Management to be held in Visakhapatnam, A.P. on February 22-23, 2020. Thank you.
