Overseas aid

Pam Wright/The Chatham Voice

Members of the Kent Sikh Society (KSS) and Chatham’s T’s & Sweats store are doing their part to assist the victims in Turkey and Syria impacted by a devasting earthquake that has killed more than 46,000 people to date. The store has donated $8,000 worth of clothing to KhalsaAid International and is still accepting donations. KhalsaAid is founded on the Sikh principle of “recognize the whole human race as one.” The collected goods have been shipped to Toronto and will be flown to Turkey free of charge by Turkish Airlines. Helping package up the clothing recently were KSS members Satinder Singh Chopra, Harpreet Singh Hanzra, Gurmeet Singh and store owners Inder and Jarnail Gahunia.
