Thirty boys at SOS Youth House, SOS Children’s Village, Cochin, volunteered to donate a good part of their monthly personal allowances towards assistance for the people of Uttarakhand, who are currently suffering because of the floods caused by the recent heavy rainfall.
The boys took this opportunity to be able to do something in return for the society which has always helped them in one way or the other. Together, they collected a sum of Rs 3,000.Thirteen of these boys representing the youth house together with Head Boy Anand C S, went to the collectorate and handed over the money to district collector Sheikh Pareeth. He congratulated the kids for their generous act. This contribution to the Uttarakhand relief fund made the kids realise the need of social work and generosity towards whoever is in need of help.
