We hope you are keeping safe and healthy during these challenging times....
We realize that you may be receiving an abundance of Corona virus –related communications right now. Yes, we too feel the same way. Enough of the negativity, let’s look at the bright side of things.
Things are not that bad. We are spending more time with families & loved ones, which we otherwise push aside. We are witnessing how humane we can be – sharing, caring and fulfilled with what we have. Knowing that everyone is there for each other just makes the lockdown look like a good thing.
However, here, The Tiruvannamalai is witnessing the quietest summer in recent times. Many are enjoying the amusing silence. The birds are flying more freely and the gaurs are grazing in peace.
But out there were people with needs, but no means.
Here at BOSS NGO, we kept wondering what role we could play during these times since most of our usual work has stalled. Towards the end of April, somehow things fell in place - The District Administration gave us the opportunity to play a role in providing relief to local vulnerable communities.
planned out our distribution process accordingly.
BOSS staff/ volunteers and members took the lead to drive to town, back and forth – procuring masks, sanitizers, sanitary pads, etc, While members of BOSS delivered essentials to Unorganized sector and daily wage Construction workers informal settlements.
We began our work on 31st March and went on until 30th April.
