| # GHANAIA Katrina Hurricane Relief Thousands are expected dead and the entire city of New Orleans is under water, amongst other cities, after Hurricane Katrina hit the south-eastern United States in what is being called one of the worst and most expensive natural disasters in American history. The police, armed guards, and medical professionals are struggling to provide essential services with hundreds of thousands of people homeless, displaced and or injured. UNITED SIKHS has started the GHANAIA Katrina Hurricane Relief project and is working together with US authorities to gather resources and build a team of volunteers, including medical professionals, who will aid the refugees in Louisiana. We need your support, through time, effort and money, to make this project successful. ## UNITED SIKHS in the News UNITED SIKHS Executive Receives Award for Outstanding Service to Humanity July 10, 2006 Amritpaul Singh, who has lived and worked in the USA, for almost 23 years, was recently given the 'Home Town Hero' award by the parade committee of City of Fremont....
