Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
No doubt, you will have seen in the news that the catastrophic second wave of COVID-19 has overwhelmed the healthcare systems in India. To see their struggle is heart-breaking; hospitals are unbearably full and oxygen supplies are running low.
To aid this, East London Mandir have opened up a fundraising programme for the purchase and distribution of essential kits such as masks, sanitisers, medications, oximeters, ventilators and oxygen concentrators, all with the help of local organisations.
Please donate generously and safely via https://www.eltemple.uk/donation (by BACS, PayPal or in person at the mandir desk) and identify your donation as COVID-19.

As of the 5th of May, with the support of our members, we released £7,295.08 with Gift Aid, to Sewa International (SewaUK) who are already on the ground, and will be using our funds to purchase 5 and 10 litre oxygen concentrators.
On the 19th of May, a further £6,049.19 was raised and released to Shree Swaminarayan Mandir – Bhuj, who will be using these funds towards the Covid-19 crisis.

Jay Shree Swaminarayan,
A massive THANK YOU is owed to everyone who donated items, small or big. We had an overwhelming response! On Christmas Eve, all 545 KG of combined food and clothing were delivered to Whitechapel Misson!
With the number of homeless people on the rise, the assistance needed for those men and women sleeping rough is greater than ever before. On average Whitechapel Mission feed 600 people a day in the area.
Check out the poster above too see exactly how much we collected!
For more information about what Whitechapel Misson do check out their website below.
www.whitechapel.org.uk
With our Patotsav fast approaching, please find below a Patrica for all, where the full Patotsav programme can be found.
Details are being released on how you can get involved from home on our social media platforms!
Please note: Mandir will be closed for darshan during the week – last darshan on Sunday 9th (6:30-7:30pm) and will reopen on Sunday 16th (12-2pm).
This year’s ankutt will be comprised of an abundance of fruit! Due to the current Covid-19 guidelines, the mandir will not be accepting any offerings of fruit this year, and instead, ask that anyone who wishes to take part in ankutt seva, makes a donation at the donation desk this week or online via our website (www.eltemple.uk/donation). The funds will then be used to purchase fruit for the ankutt display.
From Monday 10th August, the mandir will be closed to visitors and therefore donations can only be made online from this date onwards.
