“A bike ride for the homeless and hungry across India” was flagged off from Thiruvananthapuram on April 14. It is organised by HOPE (Hold On Pain Ends), Thiruvananthapuram-based NGO, with Mahesh Parameswaran Nair, founder of HOPE, and Nikhil Simon, a travel photographer and volunteer, setting on a 35-day trip on a Royal Enfield bullet. “Our aim is to feed at least 10,000 people during our journey. We will post updates about the route and our location on our Facebook page daily and those who wish to contribute food packets can get in touch with us. Details about those who donate and the number of packet(s) will be uploaded on the page. We prefer food packets to money to ensure transparency in our mission,” says Mahesh, an IT professional, who launched HOPE in 2014. A pan-Kerala initiative, it carries out philanthropic activities.More Related News
