On 28th October 2020 Food kit distribution
was held by Vimukti at its premises. Due to Pandemic many have lost
their jobs and are bound to stay at the villages. There are no daily
earnings to support the families; everyone facing hardships and
struggles to survive in this situation. It has been hard for many to go
to distant places for work, to maintain physical distance, to use mask
and sanitizers. Health is wealth is the present day situation. To build
immunity is a need of the time. There are so many who are facing
terrible times and the poor are suffering the worst. Vimukti Charitable
Trust® (VCT) Pothnal, past many months have gone out of their way to
reach to the people in fulfilling their needs. VCT Pothnal, under the
able-leadership of its Director Dr. Sathish Fernandes left no stone
unturned in fanning out to the villages through its services and reached
out to the poor and the needy and identified the poorest families,
HIV/AIDS, orphan, Semi orphan, Devadasi, widow’s, disabled and the aged
people and on 24th Oct 2020 they distributed around 32 food kits and on
28th Oct 2020 they distributed 90 Food kits to the needy ones.
Mr Charlie the VCT staff said in his address that the whole world is
suffering due to this corona disease and many NGO’s try to reach out to
the needy ones. The help is granted looking at the family situation. Fr
Sathish Feranandes, Director being the host of the program said that
Virus has been spreading at the community level. What we notice is that
the spread of virus has no territories, no religion or targeting
particular age people. So there is needed to take utmost precaution to
prevent the spread of virus. Cleanliness, wearing the mask, maintaining
the physical distance is must to fight the virus. VCT has been serving
the needy during this dire situation. This was possible with the
generous support of our donors and benefactors and Vimukti acknowledges
their generosity and conveys their heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the
president and Vimukti team. The Vimukti staff and 110 stakeholders
witnessed the food kit distribution program. They have also educated and
trained people on how to conduct and behave themselves while strictly
following the physical distancing and also taking certain precautionary
measures in maintaining one’s immunity against the deadly corona virus.
