Kerala Flood Relief and Rebuild Efforts - Radhakrishnan Pillai (FR3)

"Manava Seva Madhava Seva"

A huge thanks to our generous community who contributed towards our fundraising event through the NSSONA GoFundMe portal as well as through individual contributions during the Chicago Convention weekend. We have been liasing with local NSS karyogams, efficient volunteer groups, taluk union teams and with local residents in the flood affected areas.

We are pleased to inform that with all of your help as part of our flood relief rebuilding, we have began work to help deserving Nair families. One such family of many is Radhakrishnan Pillai and his wife, whose house in Kuttanadu had been severely affected by the flood.

Code for our project: FR3

Radhakrishnan Pillai is a fisherman. Recently, he had to sell his boat which was the families sole livelihood - for his wife's surgery. During the flood, the structure of his house receded into earth by three feet, leaving the house in a foot of water. Imagine waking out of your bed and stepping into water for the rest of the day! That is what this couple face on a daily basis.

                                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                           




How do we do it:

For FR3, we are collaborating with the local NSS karayogam  along with Pulimkunnu Enginneering College students who are whole heartedly supporting in this effort. The Engineering College Principal, who has a PhD in Structural Engineering is providing free technical guidance towards rebuilding their home.


We are humbled and proud of our community in regards to how we have collectively got together to light up the lives of many deserving Nair families.Thank you once again for your continued wholehearted support in rebuilding our motherland.

We will be posting regular updates as we go through our relief work efforts. Please feel free to reach us at nssonacharity@gmail.com

Our work continues...
