call for restaurateurs to aid quake victims

Edinburgh restaurateur Tommy Miah is asking owners of Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants all over the world to organise fund-raising events to aid survivors of the Haiti earthquake. His appeal is being launched with the full support of the UN World Food Programme, the world's largest and most experienced agency fighting food shortages and starvation in needy countries.

"My homeland, Bangladesh, knows the impact of natural disasters only too well" Tommy told us. "The world community has come to our aid many times in the not too distant past. There is no doubt that we should now show that we can give as well as take."

As a first personal contribution, Tommy Miah arranged a free dinner at his London Raj Hotel on Friday 22nd January. Up to 100 guests ate free of charge but were urged to give what they could afford to WFP. The full cost of the meal was borne by the Raj Hotel so donations will go to the appeal in their entirety. In addition, the Raj Hotel served free refreshments on the same basis in the afternoon. A similar event is planned for Tommy's Raj restaurant in Edinburgh next week.
