Collecting scrap materials to build ‘homes of love’

NSS volunteers on a mission to provide houses for landslip victims

They are on the field again with a fresh challenge. This time, they call it a “scrap challenge”. For these National Service Scheme volunteers, the mission is to collect maximum quantity of scrap materials from households and mobilise money for building their third dream home for a landslip victim at Kattippara. Financial crisis is hardly a concern for these higher secondary school students as they have been dealing with it consistently by selling tea, hand sanitisers and masks for the poor. They have already built two “homes of love” and handed them over to two families in Kattippara “With the support of benefactors, our volunteers have already completed two houses, each worth ₹7 lakh. The new challenge is to mobilise another ₹7 lakh to construct one more such house for a needy woman,” says S. Sreechith, NSS District Coordinator, Kozhikode. He hopes that the students will be able to complete the task by the end of next month.
