Winters in many parts of India can be very harsh, especially for the rural poor who don't have access to woolen clothing or cover. Every year many die due to such harsh weather. Basic amenities like warm water and blankets are not available for many. Though lasting for just 3 months in North India, what a small child has to face in winter nights is unbearable, when they hardly have even full-sized thin clothings to cover their bodies in wide open. No heaters, shelters, sweaters or blankets. Those who cannot face, die.
Since there are no central heating systems in a rural set up, to combat the situation, Food for Life Vrindavan distributed winter clothes in their three schools. Our FFLV USA President, Ineke Zondag, handed out the first distribution of winter clothes which included scarf, jacket, socks, and thermal wear, in Vrindavan. The children were delighted on receiving their new set of winter clothes.
