The rains that shook the City of Chennai, sometime during the first week of December last year is one event that won’t fade away from our minds for a long time. Said to have broken down the overall record in a century, Chennai City experienced the worst of floods that was totally unanticipated. Thousands were left homeless and the rest recorded as missing or declared dead. This was by-far the worst phase that Chennai was put through in the year 2015.
Upon nature having showcased its deadly side, Humanity simply remained untouched. Thanks to all those who stepped in and helped to Shape the city and bring it back to its pre-monsoon condition.
It is with pride that we boast of our involvement in rescue and rehabilitation efforts that our team of volunteers carried out across several regions of Chennai. We stood for a noble cause when tough times demanded, learning that humanity is the only thing that stays untouched even if it were the end of the world.
