The charity home project by academic-turned-social activist M.S. Sunil has crossed a milestone with the handing over of the key of the 125th house for S. Shebi and family at Ezhikkad colony, near Aranmula.
Dr. Sunil constructed three houses for Sunitha Kumari, T.R. Shubha and S. Shebi who were staying in makeshift sheds near the cemetery in the Ezhikkad colony in Aranmula as their dwellings were destroyed in last August’s devastating floods.
Bhagyavan and Thankamma from Piravanthoor in Kollam district became the beneficiary of a charity home a week ago.
Dr. Sunil, the 58-year-old former head of the department of zoology at Catholicate College here, had started her ‘charity home’ project 17 years ago by constructing a house for her poor student at Kodumon in 2002.
That was the beginning of the charity home donation mission.
Knowing about Dr. Sunil’s charity programme, many Good Samaritans from across the globe came forward extending active support to her.
The Union Ministry of Women and Child Development honoured her with the Nari Shakti Puraskar last year.
