Fight Covid 19

06th April 2020


Volunteers of Trust Children along with Rotary Club of Chennai Central, started distributing food for the daily labourers who have been badly affected by the Covid 19 crisis! 

The daily labourers in India have been hugely affected. With no means of daily income, their tiny savings are deplete. The best help we can do, is to provide food to sustain them till we come back to normalcy!

Teachers and Staff of Trust Children volunteered to cook and provide food everyday!


Our teachers and staff are our real heroes!! 

May they stay blessed! 

We thank Rotary Club of Chennai Central, Paramahansa Yogananda Trust, RVS Education Trust, Greenpeace India Society and all our individual donors who have made this possible! 


Day 1: 06th April 2020

Today saw us distributing 218 food packets to daily labourers...tomorrow we expect to reach 275 people!

Day 2: 07th April 2020

Today we distributed 327 food packets in total. Far exceeded the number we estimated yesterday. 

From one of our volunteers: Good afternoon all!
Couldn’t resist posting this. Today, while handling over the food packets, many people including some children expressed their happiness at the quality & taste of the food. It was simply emotional when some joined their hands to thank.
Thank you all who are behind this!!!
Must share this with the Aunties too tomorrow.
🙏🙏🙏

Day 3: 08th April 2020

Today 265 packets were distributed in and around Kovalam village.
