With love from Trivandrum
It’s social media that has brought scores of good Samaritans together. One of the biggest initiatives is the Anbodu Trivandrum Whatsapp group with over 250 members in this platform.
“We had collected materials as part of Anbodu Kochi when Chennai was inundated. So special officer M.G. Rajamanikyam contacted us to mobilise help for the flood-hit in Kerala, especially those in Wayanad and Idukki. A few of us spread the message via Whatsapp on Sunday and soon the campaign was in place. It was overwhelming to see how people came forward to donate things, coordinated with their friends, volunteered at the collection centres to pack the items and loaded them in trucks,” says Sobha Viswanath of Weavers Village.
The 20,000 sq ft wedding hall of SMC turned a warehouse for five days as the items that were collected were packed in cartons. “We were more than happy to give our space for such a noble initiative. It was overwhelming to see how people came forward to volunteer,” says Balan Madhavan, secretary of SMC.
