NSS volunteers of college raise money to build house amid pandemic crisis
Despite the challenges thrown up by the pandemic, the National Service Scheme (NSS) unit of Don Bosco Arts and Science College, Angadikadavu, in Kannur district, constructed a house named ‘Sneha Veedu‘ for a destitute woman and her two children. This is the fourth such house being constructed by the NSS unit.
The mother and children were found by Lucy Kudakapalliyil, assistant professor at the English department in the college, during a bus journey. The woman’s husband had left her. While her elder child, aged 10, suffers from mental illness, her six-year-old child has renal problems.
As they had no place to live, Ms. Kudakapalliyil took them to Avila Sadan Retreat Centre. With the support of Fr. Raphson Peter, land donated by Illickal family was identified for them to build a house on. But, the construction remained a challenge.
