A group of senior citizens from Margao Goa under the banner of Carmel Food Bank gets together and contributes quietly towards reconstruction of a part of a home which collapsed due to July 24 heavy rains across Goa.

Sounds bit difficult to digest.

Well Street Providence has numerous volunteers across Goa working individually by themselves as groups, focusing primarily on feeding the poor.

Carmel Food Bank was the 1st such group of volunteers to have joined me way back in 

Dec 2017 and till date they have been / undertaking many many projects.

Mind you most / all of them are senior & super senior citizens but they have the compassion & determination to go beyond their age factor.

Mid June 24 / early July 24 , heavy rainfall in Goa caused alot of mud houses to collapse and I suggested to them ” why not undertake to repair one house as Carmel Food Bank? “.

One senior citizen in Madel Margao , Cynthia Pereira had one part of her house fall down as it was of mud.

And Cynthia is partially suffering from disabilities. 

Carmel Food Bank volunteers agreed to fund the repairs of this house and accordingly the work started.

Today finally as seen in the link , the broken down part is fully repaired and the majority work is complete.

No big show , no publicity , nothing.

All contributed to their little they could but the objective was achieved.

Mostly we put our energy in criticizing the authorities, the politicians, the system when we find such suffering & hardships faced by poor people.

We expect that the authorities should have done more & done it more quickly.

But if we just stop and read the situation and decide to help rather wait for the authorities then you will reach this wonderful satisfaction 

” WE PLAYED OUR LITTLE PART AS A TEAM “.

Such moments are priceless.

Let's take an example from these senior citizens and work towards providing some relief to our own goans in one's own backyard who might just be waiting for help.

So many poor people approach our NGO & we too keep our eyes and ears open finding poor goan families in need of a helping hand.

You can always approach us if you and your group would like to play such small cheeerful part in the lives of poor goan families struggling for various economic reasons.

We help you with a ready platform if wish to bring a change in the life of the poor & needy.

♡♡♡ We thank The Local MLA of Fatorda & the local councillor of Madel Ward for all the support given without obstructing this repairs of this house.

Also the entire Repair team headed by Press Reporter Savio Dias , Madel along with Mr Pio and the rest who worked quietly, systematically & efficiently, inspite of the rains and the weather being unfavorable in the month of July 24.

For any one incase I missed your name, I apologize.

But it was a great experience to see so many senior citizens of Margao working quietly under the directives of one person who undertook the responsibility of finishing reconstruction on a war footing.
