Here's
what a quiet, simple, socially conscious and compassionate couple has been
doing during this Covid 19 crisis.
Shri.
A.Mahalingam (a Healthcare Professional with 3 decades of experience in
Healthcare Administration and Academics) and his wife Smt. Jayalakshmi ( a
Village Health Nurse ) residing in New Vellanur
village near Avadi identified the poor, needy and migrant workers in
their area first.
Deprived
of monthly income and suffering hunger pangs , they had no means to buy even a
square meal.
Since
24th March 2020, the day the lock down began, this humble couple have
distributed essentials like rice, pulses, vegetables, wheat flour and cooked
food to these people continuously for 30 days and have provided over 1000
families.
They
braved the hot sun, humidity and the pandemic threat and covered the villages
of New Vellanur, Morai, Veerapuram Kollumedu and New Kannikapuram in Avadi and
few areas in Ambattur also, door delivering the provisions and food.
It is
such acts of compassion and love by a few people like this couple that
help humanity survive during a major crisis like the Covid 19 pandemic.
Mr Mahalingam and his wife in all
humility averr that whatever they did just could not have been possible
but for the support and help received from their friends and well wishers.
All the beneficiaries have tearfully
conveyed their gratitude to this selfless couple.
