Braille machine to Iniya Valvu Illam – Thevipuram, Puthukkudiyiruppu, Mullaitivu

A well-wisher Mrs Yaso Thirukumar donated her 60th birthday gifts to Lotus Caring Hands in support of Iniya Valvu Illam. The funding was channelled to deliver three braille machines to the home.

Visit to the home in summer 2018, our trustee identified their requirement for additional braille machines. Our trustee Mr S Jehan discussed this with the prospective donor and Mrs Thirukumar was very keen to support it and instructed all her friends and families to make gift to support this project. With a help of Gift aid the donation soon sized to afford for three braille machines.

The machines were taken by her son Mr Vibushan Thirukumar from UK to the home on their own expense and handed to the manager of the home Mr Sabaratnam Thiruchselvam.

It is great example how an individual could help to make a difference to those needed.

Chennai floods: Rescue operations almost over, focus now on relief work – 2015

Torrential rain in Chennai, India has resulted in terrible flooding. Thousands of families have had to evacuate their homes and more than 180 people have died. This fund will provide relief to victims by helping purchase emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine in addition to longer term recovery assistance.

All donations to this fund will support recovery and relief efforts in Chennai. Initially, the fund will help first responders meet survivors immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. Once initial relief work is complete, this fund will transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted organisations.

We’ve donated 10 sewings machines to an NGO named OASIS whoes one of the project is the Chennai flood relief and rehabilitation efforts.
