Note From Our Director
For over 37 years, BSAC (now aarVam) has the privilege of serving as a Non Government Organization working for the upliftment of slum and rural poor particularly the emerging needs of underprivileged children rights, education and their holistic developments.
It is very sad that the entire globe has been affected due to COVID-19. Lakhs of people died and lakhs infected and quarantined for observation and intensive treatments. The Tamil Nadu Govt. announced a complete lockdown in Chennai, Madurai and Coimbatore from 6 a.m. on April 26 till 9 p.m. on April 29 in a bid to intensify the efforts to curb the novel Coronavirus that has been spreading rapidly in the state. In Salem and Tirupur corporations, the total lockdown will go from 6 a.m. on April 26 and will continue till 9 p.m. on April 28. On 24 April, Tamil Nadu reported two more deaths and 72 fresh cases, a govt. media bulletin confirmed; 52 cases in Chennai alone, adding to a total of 1,755 cases in the state with 22 deaths. The number of active cases in the state went down to 864 on 24 April as opposed to 908 on the previous day. A total of 114 patients were discharged on Friday leading to the number of total recoveries in the state being 866. (Source Times of India)
In these crucial situations, the lockdown affected the daily lives of entire people in the country but the most affected are the economically weaker sections in the underprivileged communities. Our organization is now working hard with like-minded people, donors and philanthropists in raising funds to support the affected people due to lockdown by distributing one month rations worth Rs. 2000/- per family covering 500 target families in North Chennai, Vyasarpadi, Chennai.
I am happily and proudly announcing that the funds are raising gradually and we have started to support the affected families. We are grateful and thankful that many individuals, donors’ agencies and corporations are supporting us to reach the poorest of the poor. The detail reports will be submitted later.
I kindly request everyone to join us to support in this crucial situation.
With regards
