HSR Community Support Group: Report for July – September 2020

Image
This Joy of Giving Week , our communities express their gratitude to all our Donors who truly lived ‘ Daan Utsav’ in spirit during their difficult times. A big Thank you from us too. We couldn’t have supported the vulnerable families without your generous contributions and timely help. As some of us started getting used to the new normal of working from home, with the help of video calls and home-cooked meals, people from other walks of life have been forced to stay home with no work and no money for basic necessities.

Adopting local communities The youngest one of our community is less than a week old, while the oldest are two silver-haired 80-year old women who have weathered many droughts and harsh conditions...

Phase 1 (starting 9 th April’20): Relief It started with us chipping in as last-mile delivery folks. We volunteered to deliver cooked meals on behalf of BBMP - Labour department to the residents of Gurumurthy temple area, near Somasandrapalya, a locality which is just adjacent to HSR layout in Bangalore. Thanks to the fantastic support from the Labour Department, we didn’t skip a single day during those 50 days.                                                                                Distribution of cooked meals, fruits and ration kits During this period, we also received calls for help from another community near Somasandrapalya lake and a few families scattered in and around HSR Layout. Regular visits to these communities helped us establish a bond with them. The families we...
