Yaas was a relatively strong and very damaging tropical cyclone that made landfall in Odisha and brought significant impacts to West Bengal during late May 2021. The second cyclonic storm, second severe cyclonic storm, and second very severe cyclonic storm of the 2021 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Yaas formed from a tropical disturbance that the Indian Meteorological Department first monitored on May 23.
Evacuations were also ordered, starting on May 24 on low-lying areas in East Midnapore and West Midnapore and Jhargram. Hooghly, Kolkata and North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas are now placed on high alert.
Our team summoned a immediate meeting for something to do.
We decided to reach the affected areas and provide some grocery and foods for the people who been victims for this cyclone. We post an update on social sites asking for donation & contribution for them.
And unexpectedly we got huge response.
We started packeting the grocery and we arrange more than 300 packets for the people.
After 1 week with the help of Raniganj Police we got the permission for going.
We choose the most affected place that is Mousuni Island, situated at Namkhana, Sundarban Delta.
With our 15 members carrying more than 300 packets we started our journey in the midnight, covering the distance of 350 Kms we reached over there.
We were shocked by the condition we saw.
We distributed the packets and return back in the same day.
The packets carries items like :-
Rice
Potatoes
Salt
Dals
Biscuits
Puffed Rice
Sanitary Napkins.
Social Work.
Its not only describing to work only for underprivileged people but all the people who live in our society.
We live in a society where everyone has right live in there way.
We took the decision to reach out the areas where everyone has the myth that the people of this areas are not good.
We took this initiative on our 76th Independence Day, 15th August, 2022 at Kadaroad, Durgapur (Red Light Area).
We had a conversation with them knowing all the issues and problems they face and started the day with flag hoisting,and organising sit & draw competition with children's of sex workers.
They were really very talented and enjoyed the day with us, we ended the day with sweet gesture by providing sweets to them.
