Pst Dhanaraj reported that according to the Govt reports the strength of floods this time was so high and in the history of the state 100 years never was a flood so severe. Some of the areas were washed out completely , with water levels at a depth of 15ft and most of the buildings completely submerged in the water. Pst Dhanaraj said, Thanks to the whole PEC team from the bottom of our hearts for the way you have responded to the dreadful situation here in the Kurnool District".

The District Collector have requested that the NGOs to see that the children get the notebooks as the Govt is providing the text books. We did visit different parts of the town that is affected by the flood and found that in spite all many other needs this one is very big and important.Children have lost all their books. It is worthless even after drying them. So if PEC can help by providing a relief pack to the children in the schools (from class VI to Class X i.e,. just the high school students).

The Student Flood Relief Pack includes :
6 Long Notebooks, 1 Geometry Box, 2 Pens, 2 Pencils, an Eraser and a Sharpener. We can do this by either taking the schools in the badly hit area or the school going children in that area (minimum of 500-1000). If you feel led to help in this area, please contact me.
