> Dear friends and fellow Audi enthusiasts,
>
> As we all know, an unspeakable tragedy has happened on the 1st of
September 2004.
> A group of terrorists had taken over 1,000 hostages in a Beslan school,
most of
> whom were little children. The terrorists used children as human shields
in the
> windows, raped them in the classrooms, deprived of food and water and made
them
> drink their own urine. When some of the children tried to flee they were
shot in
> the back. The terrorists booby-trapped the school with plastic explosives
stuffed
> with steel balls and bolts and eventually detonated them. The death toll
is in the
> hundreds. You can see the blood chilling photographs here:
> http://public.fotki.com/yartsev/school_seige_traged/
>
> There is a grass roots fund raising effort going on right now, in which I
am also
> involved. The Fund's H.Q. is located only 40 minutes away from me.
>
> The Fund was successful in helping the victims of the Moscow theatre
hostage
> crisis two years ago. It has non-profit status and the donations are
deemed tax
> deductible by the IRS. The Fund's collections and disbursements are
transparent to
> the public. What makes them unique is that they make a point of personally
going
> to Russia and giving out the monetary help directly to the victims and/or
their
> families hence making sure that every penny reaches its intended recipient
and not
> some crooked official in the government.
>
> You can find the Fund's official statement in the .html format here:
> http://www.livejournal.com/community/sfbayarea_ru/119491.html
> as well as on the Fund's own website in the .pdf format.
>
> You can reach the Fund's website at http://www.moscowhelp.org or by
clicking the
> banner which rotates at the top of the www.S-CARS.org pages or in the top
of my
> own page if you follow the link below my sig. line.
>
> I would like to ask you to distribute the relevant information in your
respective
> organizations in order to give us the desperately needed exposure. Please
consider
> placing one of the Fund's banners on your site if you run a web site of
your own.
>
> Please don't hesitate to ask me directly should you need anything
translated from
> Russian into English:  igor at s-cars dot org or KBATPO at comcast dot net
>
> Thank you very much for all the help you may wish to extend. God bless
you!
