The resurrected Kurnool

As part of Helping hands for the needy, a small organization started by our senior K.V.S Phaniranjan, I have been to kurnool yesterday to distribute books to flood affected students of Kurnool town junior college.

Our group distributed books worth 1.5 Lakhs. Vikram publishers were very generous to provide the books for almost half the price. The college management has arranged a function to distribute the material from 4 groups. The other groups distributed Clothes, Notebooks, Carrier Boxes, Pads, etc... Local media also covered the news.

The response from the students was very good. Many students came forward to say "Thanks". They need not say that. The smile on their faces says it all.

After that nightmarish floods, Kurnool has bounced back to normalcy quickly. Many people attributed this to tireless effort from many NGOs. Without their help, they say Kurnool would not have recovered so fast. Especially the poor people have benefited a lot. In fact a few people like them were commenting that, if floods come again, they would be even more richer . But the middle class is still suffering from inherent inhibitions to come out and seek help.
