Members of a voluntary organisation cook, pack and distribute food to 30 centres in the city
Three different venues have been functioning as a community kitchen for non-profit Mastermind Foundation to provide food to those affected in the recent rains. They include a small section of the primary block of Smt. Ramkuwar Devi Fomra Vivekananda Vidyalaya at Chromepet, a home in New Perungalathur and an ashram at Sadhanandapu.
A goodwill gesture by the school management enabled the Foundation to find space to cook and distribute food to hundreds of families. More than 20 volunteers were at work in the makeshift kitchen attending to the whole range of tasks from cutting vegetables to cooking and packing the food in containers.
“We operated from the space for three days after which we had to move out as the school was planning to re-open,” says Lt Col N Thiagarajan, general secretary, Mastermind Foundation.
