As we come to the end of the monsoon season in India, hope you all had a fair share of fun drenching in the sudden outbursts that usually took us by surprise. Sadly, this year, not everyone was lucky enough to enjoy the rainfalls as thousands of people got hit by the fury of Mother Nature’s ravaging monsoons. The nation awoke to a severe crisis with torrential rains and flooding.
In the case of Kerala, the situation directly affected one-sixth of the total population.A state which was once regarded as the darling destination of many tourists and tagged as ‘God’s own country’ now lay bare in ruins and damages running into thousands of crores. Such dark and sad patches in history are also always replete with stories of courage, humanity, and compassion.As help started pouring in from all corners, we started noticing commendable stories of selfless service by big corporations to noble individuals. Hyundai was swift and benevolent in coming to the rescue as well. A Generous amount to the tune of 25 lakhs was donated to help in the rebuilding efforts of the Kerala ministry.
The focus areas for which this amount is going to be used are Health Care, Food Supply, Sanitation improvement & Water purification.Additionally, taking into consideration the requirements, we also sent a truckload of utensils amounting to 9 lakh rupees. This amount was the sum of the funds collected from the employees and management contribution.Recovering and rebuilding is a long and painful process but such beautiful gestures of selfless help and support not just brings monetary relief to the affected people but also restores their faith in humanity. We are proud to be associated with such an empathetic company.
