Relief materials dispatched to Kashmir – An Interact club initiative by Shreya Gupta, Grade 12



We have all been avidly watching the news and reading the newspapers about the floods that have struck Kashmir. Nature's fury has led to a great loss of lives of loved ones, homes, livelihoods and so much more.

The locals have been suffering from starvation and a dire need for potable water, food, medication, warm clothes and woolens etc has arisen. At such an occasion, it doesn’t matter whether the people hurt are Hindus or Muslims, Indians or Pakistanis, rich or poor. All that matters is that our fellow humans need our help and we at Pathways believe that it is our responsibility to rise to such occasions and work together to help those in need.

The Pathways School Interact Club organized a collection drive for Kashmir to help the victims in Kashmir.

We received a truly overwhelming response from both the Primary and Secondary school students and parents and large cartons of warm clothes, blankets, medicines, sanitary and hygiene products were collected. The collected items have been dispatched to Kashmir in collaboration with the “Help foundation”.

It was heartwarming to see how the Pathways community contributed to the cause wholeheartedly. I would like to sincerely thank all the parents, teachers and students for all their contributions.
