Helping a village

Since the latest lockdown and devastating second wave we have also had another cyclone to deal with.

It is easy for us living in a city where we have local shops and markets open in the morning hours, to forget about the villages that have nothing.

Pappu has been informed about a village outside Kolkata where they have been badly hit and is loading up with supplies to distribute to the villagers there.

Each family will receive potatoes, salt, dal, rice, soya bean protein, biscuit packets and bread. The village is on the Ganges Delta an area which was very badly hit by the cyclone as well as their homes and paddy fields being destroyed. They are not only dealing with the aftermath of flooding post-cyclone, but with covid lockdown restrictions and the worries of that as well.
