| Desc | WHEN INDIA ANNOUNCED ITS FIRST LOCKDOWN ON MARCH 24, 2020, OVER 85% OF OUR STUDENTS' FAMILY INCOME WAS REDUCED TO ZERO IN A SINGLE DAY. THEY WERE HUNGRY. WE QUICKLY TRANSITIONED FROM PROVIDING EDUCATION TO PROVIDING BASIC FOOD NEEDS FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES WHERE WE WORK. IN ADDITION, WE HELPED WITH FOOD RESOURCES FOR THE ELDERLY, THE HANDICAPPED, GYPSY, AND TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES OR OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS IN OUR AREA. WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE OVER 11,000 FAMILIES WITH A WEEK OF GROCERIES. AT THE SAME TIME, WE STARTED TO REACH OUT TO THE HOMELESS IN VILLUPURAM TOWN TRAVELING BY MOTORBIKE AND RICKSHAW TO DELIVER FOOD EACH DAY. VILLUPURAM IS THE LARGEST TOWN IN THE DISTRICT WITH A POPULATION OF OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE. THERE ARE NO SOUP KITCHENS OR FOOD BANKS. WE PROVIDED 15,000 HOT MEALS DURING 2020. WE ALSO COMPLETED THE BELOW EDUCATION PROGRAMS DURING THE PANDEMIC: (1) FEED AND READ (FAR) PROGRAM - NONE OF OUR STUDENTS ATTENDED SCHOOL AFTER MARCH 24, 2020. THE RESOURCES FOR REMOTE LEARNING ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SCHOOL OR OUR STUDENTS' HOMES. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, OUR STAFF TRAVELLED TO OUR SCHOOLS TO DISTRIBUTE BOOKS, SUPPLIES, AND SNACKS, AND TO READ STORIES AND WORK ON WRITING AND ART PROJECTS WITH THE CHILDREN. (2) STORYTIME - STORY TIME WAS CR'S WHATSAPP READ ALOUD PROGRAM. CR TEACHERS READ TO OUR STUDENTS IN TAMIL AND ENGLISH EVERY WEEK FOR FIVE DAYS EACH WEEK DURING 2020. | Desc |

IN ADDITION, WE HELPED WITH FOOD RESOURCES FOR THE ELDERLY, THE HANDICAPPED, GYPSY, AND TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES OR OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS IN OUR AREA.
