You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them.

You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. CovidSevaks is an empowering idea that took shape amidst all the confusion and hardships faced by the common people in or around our city.

There are many vulnerable and helpless people to take care of who lack even basic necessities like food and water. As Bengaluru was reeling under the stress on hospitals post Covid19, William Chitla contemplated on the service he can render to the city, especially the area of Yeshwantpur. Bearing this thought in mind, he presented the idea to his group of friends, tentatively. As he met resistance and disagreement from them, yet he stood firm in his resolve to start a philanthropic initiative, CovidSevaks. The idea was first to help people in meeting the lack of medical supplies like vaccination, ventilators or ICU beds. But soon the thought of supplying starving people with food was conceived in his mind as the need for the former was too overwhelming to meet. This initiative of CovidSevaks seeks to inspire the privileged to help the society with their resources and alleviate the hunger or anything daunting in it. The Covid Sevak team has grown to 30+ volunteers who are helping in daily activities and I urge other who are watching our posts to help poor and needy in their streets or in their locality and also a group of friends can come together and help in their area.

CovidSevaks' recent help was towards the auto driver community. This section of people ferried us from our workplaces or locations we visited during all weather conditions and dire needs- when our daily commute was not available. I feel at peace for having helped them with ration kits and inspired many others to take up this cause. Having distributed over 250+ of the kits since May 12, we have ended the service.

CovidSevaks were in the news in the area of Yeshwanthpur for the distribution of ration kits to the sanitation workers, garbage truck drivers and other related workers during the lockdown. The BBMP Health Office, Ward 37, Smt Sujata was present during the distribution. These workers help to keep the City clean and litter-free. Hence, as it was our bounden duty to see they and their families won't go hungry. I am overwhelmed with joy for having served the people of the locality and sent an inspiring message to all peers, acquaintances elsewhere during the lockdown. This service ends on June 13. But, Good works remain in memory.

There is utmost respect for people of honour like home guards who have served everyone during all hours of the day, come rain or shine. As a token of their selfless duty to the community members and being frontline warriors, we, CovidSevaks, help them to be relieved of the burden and uncertainty of feeding themselves and their families during this Lockdown. This campaign ends on June 13 with 250 ration kits being distributed; Circle inspector of Yeshwanthpur, Mr Suresha, is seen during the distribution.

Hospital staff --both medics, nurses and associated people-- are the ones whom we owe our lives to. They have braved all the scathing attacks of this severe sickness of Covid19 and its attack on us. They deserve to be provided with food supplies to support their living. CovidSevaks does this very thing and we are proud of it.

Medical personnel and related staff have given a great sacrificial lesson to the society. During this Covid19-induced lockdown, we --the CovidSevaks-- have distributed ration kits to these precious souls. It is time we lessened the burdens on them, at least in food supplies.

Having been a part of the CovidSevaks team taking upon the responsibility to supply food packets (Ration for one month), this time I worked on a different role. We undertook to sort out ration kits and thought to whom we should distributed these ration kits among the needy. Finally, we concluded that we would give the ration kits to Covid Front Line Warriors who are Govt Teachers, Health Care, Police Dept (Home Guards) & BBMP Department.

To make this effort unique, I sourced the food supplies from farmers in our network and also lot of friends and local residents also came forward to do their part by donating whatever they could…

CovidSevaks dare to break barriers to reach out to the needy and all credit to their empathetic work. They have inspired many to take up such work. Many get benefits and are overwhelmed with the kindness.

Today we undertook distribution of ration kits.....

Time is a big factor and is crucial in the situation of lockdown. The areas in and around our locality need the food supplies to reach speedily. Many hungry mouths to feed and only a few philanthropic initiatives like Covid Sevaks, make the task burdensome.

I, Myself, with safety protocols, graced to help the poor and needy on the streets in Yeshwanthpur with food supplies. I ventured out to the rustic backgrounds of the slum life: under the tree; makeshift houses; shanties and other meeting places. The life of people in this lockdown and the plight of people devoid of food made my heart move in a great way. There needs to be an end to these people's suffering. And only we can end it --you and I-- together. Have a heart to help poor needy in our area, locality or at least in our streets.

We are serving 500+ food packets and water bottles from May 12th 2021 and we intend to continue till the lockdown is not relaxed.

Why are we not accepting donations? My Old office Colleagues, CEO and also many of my well-wishers approached me that they also wanted to be a part of this noble cause, but I to explain it to them that “The main intention of forming Covidsevaks friends' team is to inspire other area youths and well-wishers to come forward and form a small team to help poor and needy in their area, locality or at least in their streets” We proved that this model works, and they also do the same.

Among the people fallen victim to Covid19-related problems and stricter measures from the Govt to control it, are homeless people. Children and elderly alike throng to our food delivering vehicles in long numbers. CovidSevaks are overwhelmed and manage to satisfy them.
