Dear
Members and Friends
Our Muslim colleagues, members
and friends celebrated Hari Raya
Haji last week in peace and
security. That is how it should
be for everyone celebrating the
festival but it is not.
UNHCR’s partner Relief Singapore
(RSG) is raising funds to
support UNHCR - the UN Refugee
Agency - in its humanitarian
work in the world’s largest
refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar,
Bangladesh. Spare a thought
for the more than 880,000
Rohingya refugees and local
Bangladeshi communities in the
surrounding areas who are facing
severe danger this monsoon
season.
The coming weeks
and months bring strong winds
and torrential storms which
frequently cause landslides and
flooding, damaging shelters,
schools and roads.
If you
have the means, please consider
supporting this fund-raising
initiative. Your donation will
support UNHCR's overall
Bangladesh operations, which
includes training refugee
volunteers, building and
fortifying infrastructure as
well as providing refugees with
plastic tarpaulins for
waterproofing tent homes.

to donate today. For more
information on how you and your
business can work with UNHCR to
support displaced communities,

With my thanks and best
regards.
Yours faithfully
Victor Mills
