In the process of helping a
much disturbing labor camp - characterized by the lack
of shelter / food & water, the human beings from various
walks of life have stretched out their hands with alms,
after a general appeal from the Malayalee volunteers of
‘The Art Of Living’ who are leading by a Malayalam Art
of Living teacher at Dubai Chapter. Our partners of
this success movement to mitigate the miseries of those
unfortunates from the Andhra Predesh / Tamil Nadu are
mainly Dubai Indian Consulate, 96.7 Hit FM Radio Dubai,
Telungu Radio Sharjah, Asianet TV and 1539 AM Asianet
Radio, Dubai respectively and the daily creative
campaign running through the 96.7 Hit FM radio have
really opened-up the hearts of the listeners.
A few from this class of
people who are willing to go to India were gone after
getting the necessary legal documents with a free
ticket from the Indian Consulate, Dubai, giving further
assurance that they are ready to give free tickets to
anybody from this group who are desiring to go back to
home.
In connection with their
journey back to home 96.7 Hit FM have managed to raise a
special fund from which they have given AED 500 (Approx
INR.5200) for each one and it was given for these 3
people who have already gone to Andhra Pradesh, India.
Through 96.7 Hit FM as well
as from the people who are directly or indirectly
connected through AOL volunteers are supplying food /
cloth to these people at the site. The food is being
given through a restaurant which is adjacent to the site
and these donors are invited and requested to remit the
money to this concerned restaurant directly. This
restaurant in turn will give food to these people
according to the food coupon which is distributed among
these people.
As a detailed summary the
following points can be noted as the development of this
project which was happened only by the grace of Poojya
Sri Sri Ravishankar.
