" Every small collective steps can make a big difference "




Greetings !!!

In Every year people suffer from many natural calamities.
Its natural process so we people cannot stop it or prevent it
But it’s sure that there are many preventive steps to get rid.
Also every year many individual and organization take many steps to hel
p the people facing the natural calamities , like flood,landslides but they are still insufficent as the help preperation or steps are done after the calamaties are done. We find that people suffering are having financial , psychological and
Material crisis. They also get the crisis for the cloths and other important material. So

Students of Social work have brought
idea of collecting the important materials mainly CLOTHES for the people caused in natural calamities like flood.
