“If you can’t feed a hundred people
then feed just one”-Mother Teresa
Vimukti Charitable Trust Pothnal has been helping to the
homeless, slum dwellers and wandering families, who are affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Recently Vimukti conducted a survey to
identify the families hit hardest by the gradual lockdown. We have found
some of the daily wage earners like garland makers, ice cream vendors,
and those who collect waste materials from shops these families are from
disadvantage communities. Especially Schools and anganwadis are shut;
they have so far delivered food kits containing a week’s supply of food
grains.
Very sad story is Government has said free ration will be supplied to
the poor people but on the ground, nothing has happened. VIMUKTI is
trying hard to support in this emergency situation. Some said,
“THE STRONGEST PEOPLE make time to help others, even if they are
struggling with their own problems”.
