Lending
a Hand
 
As
most of the people around the country struggled to survive
in the worst flood since 1998, there were people from all
walks of life who came forward to lend their hands. Amidst
the devastation and sufferings, their efforts helped the flood-effected
people around the country see the ray of hope. Alongside efforts
by the NGOs and the government, students, businessmen, journalists
and artists joined hands in raising funds; some provided daily
meals, while the others made the much-needed oral saline for
the flood affected people. SWM salutes these people who made
a difference.
