Free distribution of food kits and hand Sanitizers to 105 economically
poor, orphan, HIV/AIDS, disabled, sponsor, Migrant, unorganized and
daily wage worker families, by Vimukti Charitable Trust® Pothnal:
The greatest of all virtues is to feed
the hungry
The World today (April 5 2020) is gripped with the pandemic of
Corona Virus. Vimukti Charitable Trust Pothnal takes initiatives to help
economically poor, orphan, HIV/AIDS, disabled, sponsor families,
deserving laborers in the rural areas, who are affected by the lockdown.
Individuals and families in cities without work, food, housing or
security, are forced to trek back home to their distant villages, in the
hot sun with no support of food, water, shade or rest, or rides in
crowded passing trucks at considerable expense, and on the way intent
only on imposing the lockdown. Those migrant, unorganized sector and
daily wage workers who have been left behind in metros, cities and towns
because of the lockdown with no transport available to their native
villages/towns, find themselves without income, shelter, and even food,
with state governments struggling to cope up with the problem in
overcrowded relief camps, again exposing these workers to infection.
Even some migrant workers staying back to their work places, staying
together in the small rented house, social distance is impossible for
them, they don’t have enough food grans to survive. Money what they had
got, they already had sent to their family members. Now no money in
their hands. They are walking on foot miles and miles to reach to their
home. Since they are walking, not getting enough food, water, shelter
and rest, not maintaining social distance, they are the one found
positive by the Corona Virus, transmitting the virus from one place to
the other.
With all these circumstances economically poor people are struggling to
get one meal per day, identifying such 102 deserving families, Vimukti
flung into action by distributing free food kits and Hand Sanitizers for
their survival. It was a biggest challenge to meet-out the needs of the
people at this moment of struggle. Through the hard efforts and generous
donors, for their sacrifice we could distribute the free food kits like,
sugar, Tea powder, salt, Green grams, coconut oil, dall, Rava, Chilli
powder, coriander powder, edible oil, turmeric powder cumin, master
seed, Soaps, paste Tooth brush, face masks etc. to the economically poor
families who have affected by the lockdown. The families were very
grateful to receive this timely help. We are also happy indeed to thank
for all the sponsors/donors for their generosity. “A smile happens in a
flash, but its memory can last for a lifetime. “May God bless the
cheerful giver”.
