Dear Friends,
Hud Hud Cyclone Relief Activity:
On 5th Nov, 2014, we read a news paper with the details of the fisherman who lost their huts during Hud Hud Cyclone at Thota Veedhi, Bhimili, Visakhapatnam District. Even the children of the fisherman (studying in schools and colleges) had lost their text books, note books, uniforms, bags and even the original certificates of their education (along with the huts) during Hud Hud cyclone.
We responded to this news and gathered the list of required books from the 21 students of Thota Veedhi, Bhimili who are studying Intermediate, Polytechnic, Degree and B.Tech (under BC category).
The books to the school students of this area are provided by other NGO.
As the situations are too worse at Thota Veedhi, we requested the students to gather at St.Ann’s Aided high School, Bhemunipatnam (Even this school is collapsed during the cyclone). We donated the note books, text books, guides and test papers to the students of Thota Veedhi, Bhimili, Visakhapatnam District on 23rd Nov, 2014.
This information has been delayed due to:
· The lack of availability of required books in the market.
· As well as we replaced few of the text books as per the requirement of the students.
We ordered the unavailable books in the market and purchased them after their availability. We donated the rest of the 40+ books to the students on 14th Dec, 2014.
