cherish as Indians. We still live the concept of “Unity in Diversity” with diverse language,

culture and region.

puddle or rivulet or flood”

One such disastrous flood arises in the God‟s own country renowned for spices: famously known

as Kerala. This city was joyfully grinning into success paving waves for education, prosperity

It was reported that Kerala received heavy monsoon on the mid evening of August 8 resulting in

dams filling to capacity and flooding local low-lying areas. It was for the first time in the history

when 35 out of the 40 dams were opened.

event.

and collected all the necessity material like medicines, clothes, food, snacks for donation.

An example of humanity could be seen because all the people were ready to help the victims to

their great extent by donating as much as they can either through money or by providing

materials.

All the volunteers put all their efforts so as to collect as much material as they can. Not only

collection but the volunteers were also seen donating from their side for the victims.

The collection and donation continued till 6pm in the evening after which segregation of &

separation of materials started so that all the donated material could be packed well and

transported for the Kerala victims.
