The New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir Humanitarian Mission/Guyana Central Arya Samaj yesterday presented Soobas Ramgobin and his family with US$1000 to help rebuild their home, which was destroyed by fire on March 7, 2009.
This donation to the Ramgobin comes one week after the villagers of Windsor Forest/La Jalousie on the West Coast Demerara, donated what little money they could to help in the reconstruction process.
While most of the residents contributed money, ranging from $100 to $1000, other residents lent their hands in the actual reconstruction of the house. The villagers donated a total of $195,000 to Ramgobin and his family.
Yesterday’s donation was in keeping with one of the principals of the Arya Samaj movement, which is to do good to the whole world, and it is keeping with this practice, that the New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir Humanitarian Mission/Guyana Central Arya Samaj made the donation.
A representative of the Guyana Central Arya Samaj, Danraji Hemraj, said that members of the New Jersey Arya Samaj had seen the Kaieteur News article online and had called asking how they could contribute to the reconstruction process.
Ramgobin and his wife, Gourie Singh, expressed their thanks to the New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir Humanitarian Mission/Guyana Central Arya Samaj and to the residents of their community, for the assistance they had given them.
Singh explained to this newspaper learnt that the reconstruction process was going well, and the Ramgobin family is expected to move into the house, when it is completed in approximately two weeks.
The cause of the fire has still not yet been determined, but the residents of the area have said that they suspect that it was electrical in origin.
The fire left Ramgobin, his wife and their six children homeless and void of any personal possessions.
Since the fire, Ramgobin and his family have been staying with relative in Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara.
