Free health camp for the migrant families: Vimukti Pothnal
On 12th May 2020 Vimukti organized a free
health camp for the migrants who had been travelling since long and had
stayed due to lockdown in Pothnal. There were about 80 families who had
free health screening. The families earn daily living by spraying
medicines on trees and do other works. They were on their way back home
but due to lockdown could not travel further. The families were living
around the Vimukti organization Pothnal. The Trust after knowing the
situation immediately distributed food kits to them. There were many
children in the group. So Vimukti initiated free health camp and also
distributed Protein tonics and medicines. The elders had B.P test as
well. The entire group was enlightened on various social issues. Due to
migration children are deprived of education. They later turn to bonded
child laborers. It is a serious crime in the present day context. The
present laws are very severe towards such practices. So the elders must
be aware of it. They have a social responsibility towards their children
and their upbringing. The migrant families received lot of attention and
care in this health camp.
