Labour day is observed in India today .
Public holiday as I can say about 1st May .
STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA rescues this man a few weeks back, a daily labourer , non goan , from panjim , who was suffering from itch and scabies on his entire body.
Labourers life is tough.
The current 2nd wave will be more difficult for them as well as our NGO who rehabilitate them .
♡♡ Mrs Immrama Cathi, from Samarpan Foundation has been feeding on the streets of Panjim every Tuesday & Thursday night .
She zeroes down on this man, Santosh who she observes is all full if itch and scabies and is desperate to get off the streets of Panjim.
She whatsapp me his picture and requests help.
Next day Santosh reports to the police station, who in turn calls us and we pick him up .
Today we can say we have celebrated LABOUR DAY.
Santosh today is all clean and healthy.
Like Santosh , there are many out there on the streets looking for a shelter and a little food to eat.
I am Getting very frustrated and restless, as we can't pick the homeless men due :
▪︎1. Homes being full ,
▪︎2. This 2nd wave is very deadly,
▪︎3. I am completely at home, GROUNDED , as I have too much of responsibility with many projects, can't afford any chances.
▪︎4. Children are small.
▪︎5. Many of our volunteers are old and have their own families, so can't put pressure.
▪︎6. We already are close to 100 homeless and we need to be VERY VERY CAREFUL .
▪︎7. Our current team is doing the best they can to run and look after these 100 people.
But here and there we are still accepting homeless and abandoned street men .
Homeless Women we are accepting only from hospitals who are abandoned and ready for discharge.
I can't sit quite , getting requests from many to rehabilitate men , but a few days more will be needed before we hit the streets of Goa picking the homeless off the streets, subject to Availability of a home for men.
For women we can accept another 15 to 20.
Plenty of beds in the women home but admissions only through our strict procedure.
Come join us as our volunteer in other cities of Goa incase you have that passion in you.
Your support is what makes us feed the homeless street people & rehabilitate them thorough our volunteers across entire Goa.
Your support is what we require
