Dear Friends & Well-wishers,
"Pen is mightier than the sword"
We realized the true potentials of these statements yet again on 11th April 2020. We are overwhelmed and thankful to everyone who contributed instantly helping us get started with phase two of providing grocery items kit to 161 tribal families from 7 different villages in Gumudupoondi district.
A Grocery Kit includes - 7 kg of Rice, 250gm of Dry Chilli, 50gm of Pepper, 50gm of Jeera, 1 liter of Oil, 1 kg of Wheat flour, 1 kg of Dhal, 50gm of Anise, 50gm of Mustard, 100gm of Tea, 1 packet of Salt and 1 kg of Sugar.
Here are the number of tribal families from each village received our contribution,
24 families from Chennavaram village
17 families from Thamireddypalayam village
57 families from Thalaiyaripalayam village
2 families from Sunnambukulam village
25 families from Chedilpakkam village
12 families from Nemaloor village
24 families from Kannambakkam village
A total of 161 less fortunate tribal families benefited now with this contribution and this will surely help them for next 8 days.
A woman from Thalaiyaripalayam village said "We don't know whether Coronovirus could kill us, but we are sure the Hunger will kill us. That's the situation we are all in now. We are doing daily wage jobs and running the family. Now there is no job and also curfew imposed and we are not able to move out of the huts. Government gave us one thousand rupees to each family. But how long it will help us if we don't go for daily wage job for next 30 days. We are staying at home now and difficult to feed the children. Now, with grace of you all, we got rice and dhal now. We thank each one you who helped us and on behalf of my village, we sincerely thank everyone who came forward to help us ".
Does it require any more words to explain the situation of tribal families living in the remote villages?
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone once again who helped these families.
"At this time of crisis situation, Only prayer has the capability to heal us. So Stay Safe at Home & Pray for Others!!".
Sincerely,
Care N Share
