We are deeply saddened by this incident, but I am happy to help,” Aldriya, a student volunteer, told PTI.Ananthamegha, another student, emphasized, “As NCC volunteers, we are committed to working hand in hand here. It’s not just the NSS and NCC; other students from our school are also volunteering.” Melbin, a student of GHSS, added, “We are helping the people by sorting the clothes that have arrived for them.” Mini, a teacher at GHSS Meppadi, said they were doing all that they could for the people and were praying for Wayanad.”This is a tragedy. We are all sad. All are not allowed here, there are restrictions here. It’s a lot of emotional drama. We are consoling them, giving love and affection. How to rehabilitate them? It’s a very, very difficult situation to overcome. “We are doing what we can. It’s very little, but we are doing what we can. Students are sorting the clothes and helping them. We lost a few students, we don’t know where they are (not traceable). There are six rooms in higher secondary and more rooms in high school. Maybe around 1,000 people are here in this camp. We are praying for them. Everyone in the world is praying for Kerala, Wayanad,” she said.
