Diwali Clothing Drive and Next Food Donation
Diwali Preparations
Do you have any new or gently used clothing that you won't be using? Would you like to donate it for a good cause?
Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, is coming to Tamil Nadu on Monday, October 27th. We have decided to celebrate it this weekend (either Sunday or Monday) by a clothing donation. Our aim is to give an article of clothing to each of the residents of Ramavaram. Many of the people at Ramavaram have one, or at most, two, articles of clothing. The importance of this activity is further highlighted by the heavy rainfall which has an adverse situation on their lives.
If you have some clothing to donate and can get it to us before this weekend, please contact us. We'd really appreciate your donation!
Food Drive
A day after our food donation, and the rains have been coming down hard. Today was especially heavy and we were all glad that we gave the food yesterday. It has undoubtedly been put to good use feeding the families of Ramavaram when work is scarce.
The forecast for the rest of the week is not very good and the families in slums like Ramavaram will, as always, be the hardest hit.
Because of this, we have decided not to serve curd rice as planned during our Diwali trip and instead we are going to be serving raw materials, like we did yesterday. In difficult times such as these, this goes a lot further in helping the residents.
As posted before, this is an expensive endeavor. It comes to approximately Rs 6,500 (USD 130) to feed 100 families. If you would be willing to sponsor this food for even a few houses, please contact us. It would make a big difference!
