Madin Academy offers help to tribal children

Hamlet likely to get electricity connection in a week

Madin Academy here on Tuesday came forward to help the three forlorn tribal families living at Suprikkat colony in Thottappally forest area on top of Kakkadampoyil hills. As a first step, the academy offered a TV set to address the online learning issue of the children at the hamlet. Madin Academy chairman Sayed Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari handed over the TV set to a group of social workers here on Tuesday. The Hindu on Tuesday had reported the plight of the tribal families, especially their children without any access to online schooling. “We spoke to the forest authorities and decided to install a TV at the hamlet. Providing facilities for the education of the little children is our number-one objective,” said Mr. Bukhari. He said Madin would provide food kits to the families every month. “We are also willing to build safer houses for them where they live. We will work on it soon,” he said.
