Amidst the universal support for rebuilding Kerala after the devastating floods, St. Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary (STOTS) of Malankara Orthodox Church\u00a0 was also\u00a0 engaged in a clean-up drive in the affected areas from 22nd\u00a0 to 26th,\u00a0 August, 2018. About seventy five volunteers from STOTS, including seminary students with three faculty members and Principal were involved in this relief works.\u00a0 By identifying the needy families in remote places,\u00a0 \u00a0they distributed kits of daily needs and then cleaned the houses in the most flood affected areas of Niranam, Pandanad, Wayanad, Veeyapuram, Puthencavu and Tiruvalla. They were split into six groups which wholeheartedly rendered cleansing service irrespective of any social barriers. The knee deep dirt, slush, debris, carcasses of dead animals, floating filth and above all the unbearable stench emanating from all these could not deter their service spirit. The volunteers engaged themselves in cleaning of an SNDP Guru Mandiram at Pavukkara.\u00a0 A Facebook post given by the son of the secretary of that branch of SNDP and a photo are\u00a0 attached to this write up .\u00a0 Special thanks to St. Baselios and St. Gregorios Orthodox Church (SBGOC) New Jersey, USA, St. George Orthodox Cathedral, Nagpur,\u00a0 a few members of St. Mary\u2019s Orthodox Church, Bhandara, St. George Orthodox Church, Jabalpur , St. Gregorios Orthodox Church , Bhusaval, Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church, Bhiwadi, st. Gregorios Orthodox Church, Njaliakuzhy and a few other well wishers for various kinds of support to this mission. May God shower His blessings upon all those who are helping to restore the affected areas, and bless Kerala to overcome this crisis with united and consistent efforts.\u00a0 \u00a0We pray that Kerala could have some long term planning for a healthy sustainable eco-friendly life which could resist successfully the unbridled exploitation of nature so that we could avoid such calamities in future.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
