Hi there,
Mother Nature’s wrath knows no boundaries. If it’s heatwaves in some parts of the world, it’s torrential rains in others.
Kerala was hit by the worst floods in over a century, the past week. With severe damage across the state and rescue pouring in from all over the world, flash flooding is one of the main reasons behind this catastrophe.
However, some hate-mongers pegged Kerala’s beef eating habits as the reason behind the flooding.
But there are also heartwarming stories of Langar sewa volunteers coming together and feeding the affected. Donations in supplies by FMCGs is worth a mention.
If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, head here: Kerala Rescue
Meanwhile, dive into this week’s issue.
Stay hopeful,
