Quick Clot Kits For Jawans - 1st Round Donations Delivered!!
Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Sorry if this has already been addressed earlier, but since i couldn't find a similar question after quickly flipping through the 7 and odd pages of discussions on this proposal I thought id post this to the group.
"Instead of some of us trying to buy a few kits would it not be much better for all of us to pool what ever we can contribute to one single source within BR and then have them place a bulk order so that we can procure them at a much lower cost than each one of us buying them individually. Please ignore my post if this has already been addressed earlier and i will go read the postings again and do the needful.
Regards,
Vishnu

Sunil,
All paypal pmts are received, but some
contributors who have listed pmts as "charity"
have created additional work for me in that I need
to call paypal and explain that they are NOT charity
and that I don't have a tax-free tax ID for those
transactions. I will do that soon as I just finished
a couple of travels.

I have a reply from a Corps Commander on the issue.
He lauds the philanthropic effort but advises that AG's Branch be contacted for guidance to assist those involved in their noble cause.

I will also suggest that people use the feedback link on the site below to get PM's attention. Things to remember:
1) Take your medication before writing any note, you are writing to PM of India not some two cent reporter.
2) Use it only for non partisian actionable cause, it is a total waste trying to change Congress' politics using the link below.

Since you already thought of it first, why don't you use the feedback link that you have posted and write to the PM to get his attention on the issue?
Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Sunil & others please see the document regarding paypal.
Also, there are a couple of pledgees who have not acted on their pledge,

Tomorrow (Friday) in Delhi our first meeting is scheduled with

What is this "secret" document that is being referred to ?. No Offense.. But I am waiting for something concrete to emerge from the posts on this thread, before I decide to pledge.

Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Gurudev Kobe ji had sent a 'Google Document' link to everyone who had mailed him regarding this initiative . Basically a list to track the amount collected for the Kit.
Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Tilak ji, email kobe at place223 at geemayle . However, we are now (finally!) in the last stages of the whole process with IA-end already hauling a$$ and making tpt arrangements etc. so any donations will have to be sent quickly.
Note to all: The donations are not classified as charity (such as those allowed under 501(c) in US, 80G(5) etc.) as this is an individuals-only private effort hence please don't mark your donations as charity (or donations to a non-profit org.) or take them out as charitable deductions in your tax return.

Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
hi gaurav_s,
1) your paypal pmt is received and its documented
2) mandeep is back from election duties and he has a meeting on monday with the army CinC, (mandeep's (correct) suggestion was to get an OK from the very top army brass of the said units before delivering the QC, so we are following a safe route so as not to ruffle any feathers)
3) in parallel raj malhotra (our BR jingo in delhi) met a delhi based army officer who has offered full logistics support to buy and deliver the Quikclots
4) so thanks for the patience and we are doing everything possible to get the QC delivered, the full method and contributors list with pmt amount will be published as quickly as its done
5) Hindustan Times reporter (Rahul Singh) is in touch with us so he can do a follow up story as soon as the project is completed
Minor Detail:
Thanks to generous and trusting contributions from many of you, we have surpassed $10,000 mark in actual money received. It will result in a minimum of 120 packets of QuikClots for the Jawans. We are finalizing plans for a) transfer the money to india b) get press coverage, c) deliver the packets to the jawans. Thanks again for your patience
Final Call: BR Super Jingo Seetal Bhai has just sent in his generous amount, anyone else intending to make a contribution, please act now. This is because the total amount has suprised everyone and has motivated us to extend the deadline to allow for anyone else wishing to contribute. .
PS: "act now" means, send me an email preferrably from your gmail. at
places223 at gmail

Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
I should say KoB and RB(twins in SFO ) did a great job. The sheer amount of paperwork and the coordination that they have handled, seriously guys if we had a BR ratna award your names would be on the top of the list. Again no amount of words will be enough to appreciate their efforts.

Please note:
1) End of this month 5/31/2009 will conclude the money collection phase-1. And new payments will be discouraged.
2) Based on lessons learned to improve efficiency and after establishing more india based jingo-assets we will do it again (for sure).
Thanks.

Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Would a pharma consider purchasing patent on Quickclot subject to DRDO recommendation (if convinced after a trial period) to manufacture for COIN units ? Besides lack of training for medics and the absence of First Aiders is also an issue which could be addressed by pvt health giants,it doesnt hurt to provide some st john's recommended techniques and courses to the forces as social responsibility!

Haloooooo!.. update on status.. bliss anybody?
Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
Please do let know of the progress on this wonderful initiative.
Based on its success, do tell when is the second round being undertaken.
My feeling is that we should not publicise it in the media. There is no point in getting media attention unless we are able to use the same to make the kit available as a standard thing with the army.
My two pence.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Right now situation is that everything is ready to go but Army is contributing its share of red-tape - this has been the situation for the last 1 month or so.

Re: Buying Quick Clot Kits For Our Jawans - A Humble Proposal
OK...time for some updates.
The donation and associated material has reached Mandeep (BR admin) in India. He is managing the interaction with the IA and the associated media coverage. The handover (hopefully in the next week) will take place at the Jat Regimental Center, Bareilly, U.P. where Mandeep will present the donation on behalf of B-R to the Commandant of the Center. After the actual handover takes place, I will post pics of the event on this thread.
If anybody lives near Bareilly U.P. and would like to attend, please post your name and e-mail here so that I can get in touch with you.
Thanks!
TIA.
