Dear Rajika and everyone else wanting to donate,

We will try and set up boxes in the canteen space or thereabouts. Let’s try and collect Monday/Tuesday and send the stuff by Thursday morning?

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone’s contributions, we have been able to collect Rs 34,500, from which we bought Rs 17,200 worth of brand new clothes, cleaning supplies and much-needed medicines. These, as well as the items that people brought in have been despatched to Kerala already. A shout out to everyone who pitched in! And thank you Nimmi, for helping us access the best possible collection network to send our relief cartons.

Our strategy going ahead is to connect with groups involved in rebuilding efforts, and check on what is required for reconstruction and rehabilitation. We do have some cash from the collections which we will use basis the info we get from the ground. You are still welcome to donate money, but we have stopped collecting things now, so please do not bring more items to donate. 

Once again, thank you for your generosity! We will update you soon on next steps...

Warm regards

Mukta, Eesha, Vincy
