This year the winter was cold in Jharkhand. At nocturnal temperatures around 8 degrees, people are freezing in their huts. In November / December we called for donations to distribute as many blankets as necessary. Thanks to the quick support of the donors, we were able to distribute 600 warm blankets. Blankets were distributed in Hisim, Tundra, Chando, Beldi and Damru. The blankets were bought here in the region to avoid high transport costs.

We thank all donors and also the helpers from the villages suburb who helped us with the organization.

Here are some pictures:

About 120 blankets were distributed in the remote village of Chando

Children from our children’s village in Asha Vihar also helped

The elderly and children are particularly affected by these low temperatures.
