My name is Harini Gadiraju. I am 14 years old and a Grade 10 student at Chirec International School. To introduce myself , I’d say I am very active and like to play sports . I play tennis in a competitive level . I enjoy being outdoors a lot. I’d say that I’m fortunate enough to afford for basic needs and this makes me think about the people who deserve to live their life to the fullest but I’m afraid to say aren’t able to. I chose to help in a fundraiser not because I feel sorry for the underprivileged but because I think that they all do deserve a life like us. I would do anything I can to help them out of this situation. I alone cannot make much of a difference to this situation and would need help from several people. Making a change in the society is very important to me and I’m hoping that all of you will understand the severity of the situation people are going through

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in different ways. Perhaps the hardest hit is the daily wage earners, migrant labour and the financially poor. Even after the lockdown is lifted, their plight remains the same as jobs will be scarce. They fear starvation more than the virus itself.

We are the privileged ones and it is our duty to must step up to help them through these difficult times. I request all of you to support my campaign so that we can also ease their hardship in our own small way. This campaign aims to provide meals and bottled water to them across Hyderabad and is done by Akshaya Patra( through their kitchens) in close coordination with the local administration. Let's come together and do our bit to help our fellow countrymen.
