The Covid second wave has literally devastated India and there seems to be no immediate respite. Unlike the first wave, the ongoing second wave has categorically impacted the crucial age bracket of 30 – 45 Yrs. Many of the deceased had been the single earning member, shouldering major bank loans, instalments, mortgages, single child to aged parents, newly married and or with very young kids. As the fatality counts are expected to shoot upto a few millions, these tragic and untimely deaths have left behind unimaginable scars and a dark uncertain future for the survivors. On the other hand, business and trade has come to a screeching halt, severely impacting salaries and cash flows across all strata of society. To further escalate the situation, the country faces a dire crisis of emergency oxygen supplies, vaccines, critical life-saving medicines and hospital facilities. Government agencies are in a state of chaos and disorder, without any decisive action plan, while inflation and malicious black marketing on a steep rise.

Human Survival Is the Priority: Politics, Diplomacy, Budgets, Appeasement and Vote Bank Can Wait.

While the nation gasps to deal with this unprecedented havoc, the Operation Sunshine, an initiate by Rotaract Club Of Central Calcutta (sponsored by the Rotary Club Of Central Calcutta) in collaboration with Words Kraft has been working relentlessly to supply free food meals, grocery supplies, essential medicines and even oxygen refilling to several impacted families across the city of Kolkata, India.

Yes, I am certain you would come across a hundred such forums, organisations and fund-raiser initiatives evolving in the country. Nevertheless, I have known these people personally and hence feel confident to vouch for their credibility and legitimacy.

The Super Heroes Without a Cape

The Rotaract Club Of Central Calcutta is a student body headed by highly motivated and bright young students from top Universities/ Institutions such as Xaviers, Presidency, Jadavpur University, etc. They have been preparing 100+ meals every day, arranging for supplies, coordinating with needy individuals, shortlisting legitimate callers and supplying essential items to all quarantined zones across Kolkata and beyond. These young individuals have been risking their lives and safety, to serve fellow-citizens who are in severe need of support 24X7.

At this point, the group has almost exhausted all their funds and needs urgent donations to step-up the campaign. We at Words Kraft have extended our unconditional support to channelize funds from our social circuits including friends, families, clients, colleagues and beyond. But with each passing day, the crisis takes an critical turn and more people reach out to us more immediate help.

We need your help to help these distressed families, as they witness everything near and dear crashing all around.
