    Story

    With no prospects of employment and dwindling savings, many families in N are finding themselves struggling to place food on the table during the current Coronavirus lockdown. Working with the local government, we hope to support those in need with the purchase and fair distribution of 100 bags of rice, salt and lentils within the local community. These provisions should last each family for 3-4 weeks, by which time we hope to have seen the end of the lockdown.

    This project is a collaboration between the local government, who will provide information on which families are struggling within the area of B-3 and S - a local teacher and principal of HHA who is passionate about advancing his community. S' s recognition that during this difficult period, many of his pupils families were not able to feed themselves properly led him to seek a solution which would not only help his pupils but the wider community as well. He asks only for your generosity and that you accept our gratitude and the gratitude of the families you help feed.

    Our target of £1500 comes from the need for 100 bags of rice (£12 * 100 =£1200), 1kg of Lentils (£1*100=£100), Salt (£0.15*100=£15) and our desire to aim high. Purchase and distribution will be undertaken in a responsible manner that encourages social distancing and are planned for the 15th-22nd June, just two weeks away!!

    Thank you, stay safe and please spread the word, share this page with the world!

      Sorry for the long delay in updates. This week saw our 90th family receive their "care package." Though its been a long journey due to local complications, we are still committed as ever and are soon to be exceeding our initial target of reaching 100 families. I know I promised photos but the complications that arose still require some discretion. If you would like some please message Shamser.

      'Difficulties' with the local government has meant that we are no longer calloborating with them and instead have sought the help of key local villagers to determine the recipients of our 'care packages.' Due to these 'difficulties' we are moving slowly, as too much attention may bring an end to the project. Nethertheless we have so far helped 10 families, with another 20 soon to be seen to.

      Some of you may have noticed some changes to the page, this is due to the need for some discretion, the reason for which will be explained at a later date. Rest assured our aims are still the same and will still be achieved!

    Having decided to see out Corona in N rather than return home to London, I have been living with S family since January. As HHA is currently closed I have been helping where I can, and enjoying every minute of it.
