From SI Budapest, October 27, 2010
In Hungary early October 2010 occurred a catastrophe, when an industrial reservoir collapsed and suddenly a major spill of toxic red sludge covered a number of villages.
9 people died and thousands of people lost their homes, hundreds of children, women and men were taken to hospital.
This is a major disaster for our nature and for old and young people who can never return back to their homes, as the environmental damage is long lasting. The victims are temporarily sheltered in sport halls, at their friends’ houses and in government houses. They are deeply shocked by the loss of all their properties and by having lost the feeling of personal safety and security.
The Soroptimist Club Budapest decided to raise funds and ask our network of Soroptimist Friends for contribution. Our aim is to support to build an institute in a new village that the victims will need most to start a new life: a kindergarten, a medical center, a social home or a women’s house.
