Activity note
'When you conspire to do something good, the universe conspires to help you succeed.'
Over 7 lakh people have been affected by the floods that washed Kerala this year.
The waters have receded but families have lost their loved ones, livelihoods and a lot more is at stake as they struggle to go back to their lives.
On Sunday, August 26, 2018, a small team of good-willed people -- young and old -- set forth from Mumbai by Netravati Express to do their bit to help rebuild Kerala.
With over 5 tonnes of relief material collected from different parts of Mumbai including groceries, clothing, essentials and sanitary napkins among others, the team had a huge task at hand -- to safely distribute them all to the affected families door to door.
Over the next five days, the team of 13 -- Vinod Bhaskaran IRS, Rajan V Nair, Subin Sethu, Athira Ashokan, Sharat Panikar, Subin Sunilraj, Kiran Das, Rohan, Shaji Kayaratuthodi, Suresh Rameshwar, Shaktidharan Nair, Subin Bhaskaran, Manilal and Liju -- headed by Sunilraj, General Secretary, Nanma Charitable Foundation worked relentlessly and reached out to over 600 families in Kerala.
The team travelled by foot and boat to flood-affected villages of Vallor, Anthikad, Kanjani, Chirakkal, Manaloor, Chalakudi, Meloor, Poolani, Adichili, Pushpagiri, Kunnampalli, Koratti, Atta Padam, Muringoor, Devine Nagar, Chunakkara Colony and Parakootam.
While the relief may last them only a few days, every helping hand, every kind word gave them hope that they are not alone in this struggle.
Together, let's help Kerala, a small state of a bigger India bounce back to normalcy. Any and every help is welcome.
A huge Thank You to all those who helped and supported Nanma in this successful journey.
In the words of Einstein, a big Thank You also to all those who said No to us. Because of you, we did it ourselves.
Love and Nanma always,
Sunilraj A
