It all started with a few, who wanted to do something to the deceased who are affected with
COVID-19 and the panic and an alarming death toll with no availability of basic oxygen
cylinders
to breathe with infected lungs in the town of Pollachi in the second COVID wave in April
2021.
Some of us are NRIs who grew up in the same town of pollachi who have relocated to the
United States grouped together with fellow classmates who live in Pollachi who went to
school
with. The urge to do help resulted in getting oxygen concentrators, basic COVID medical aids
to
physicians, nurses and all who attend the COVID patients as the situation was distressed
that
even the essentials of masks for the medical workers were not just available but they
continued
to attend the massive and alarming income of affected patients.
Some of us with volunteers in
Pollachi got together and served with the supplies from the United States and from other
parts
of India visited almost all health centers in and around the town of pollachi and suburbs in
providing the medical supplies, food and shelter to houses with patients by putting our
lives at
risk. Some of the remote communities were hit hard with no source of income for months due
to
lock downs and fear who were mostly daily wage laborers.
As the calls poured in to help for COVID affected family members, we just dedicated
ourselves
to activities performing in taking them to hospitals, supplying the needs etc., while the
town was
locked down for all.
With special permissions, we continued our efforts and in spite of losing our
own friends and family members, our urge to serve continued visiting places as far as we can
physically reach with one goal that is “To save as many lives as we can”.
We saw the disaster
due to the pandemic that has hit hard economically and the loss of people in various
communities. This serving aspiration led to expansion to the service to humanity and beyond
serving in various aspects of health care, wellness, awareness, helping the poor in many
aspects and bringing the knowledge and source for the community to survive and show them
the path to thrive. The year of 2021 has changed many of our lives in the way we see the world
and decided to create this organization as a vehicle to many who wanted to serve and
committed ourselves.
There are so many hearts out there in the world, whether you have lived
here in this town of Pollachi or just someone who supports and serves humanity wants to do
something good, we invite you to join our movement and contribute in whatever ways you can.
While some of you might be serving already, to a social service organization and many just do
not know where to start and you might be thinking will it really reach the needy? We believe you
could consider this organization and the moment with people who grew up in the 60’s, 70’s and
80’s and with new generations who reside in various part of the world and in pollachi as
founders, advisors, committee members and volunteers and I hope you will join hands with us to
make a small impact for the wellbeing of humanity and beyond.
