The state of Kerala was badly hit by devastating floods just a few weeks back. Dreams of many people were shattered with the suddenness of the tragedy. The whole state was in no mood to celebrate the annual cultural festival - onam celebration. Many were in relief camps. Rescued children under our care were looking forward to onam celebrations as that would be a time of cheer and happiness and all of them will get new dresses. They were sad that there would be no celebrations.
Though we didnot have a grand onam celebrations we had a meal together and children were provided with new dresses and they also participated in indoor cultural programs. Even in the wake of a sad experience as children cannot be kept out of their due they were with beaming smiles that they were able to get new dresses.
We also reached out to children in the neighbouhood who had lost everything in the floods with dresses and school materials. The beneficiaries were identified with the help of local self government authorities. We provided these materails to about 120 children in two localities.
Thank you guys for your continued support. It is indded making a difference in the lives of chidlren in distress.
