FOTGR will distribute Onam Gifts to the poor Widows during this Onam (on Uthradom day, Sept 01, 2009). The gift packet includes MUNDUM NERIYATHUM (dress) & SEMIYA PAYASAM (sweet).

Mundum neriyathum is the traditional clothing of women in Kerala, South India. It consists of two pieces of cloth: mundu, a one-piece cloth draped on the lower part of the body and neriyathu, worn over a blouse. It is worn by women from all communities of Kerala and is often referred only as “Kerala saree”. The mundum neryathum for festive occasion has golden coloured borders or a broad zari border known as Kasavu, lending the costume another name of “Kasavu Saree”.

Government Hospital, Thazhakara, Mavelikara.
FOTGR seeks your individual and organizational support and assistance for the Food Relief Program for hundreds of patients visiting Thazhakara Government Hospital.

These poor patients come from long distances and most of the time are not in a position to buy or bring food. We are really concerned about their pitiful condition and our program is to provide lunch packets to the most deserving 200 to 250 patients, once in a week. The cost is around Rs.12,500 per month and you can sponsor any month(s) / week(s), by paying a mere SAR.+1000/- or BD. +100/-.

Government Ayurvedic Hospital, Kallumala, Mavelikara.
Based on an increasing need to provide food to the poor families, FOTGR is extending the Food Relief Program to the Government Ayurveda hospital, Kallumala.  Over 30 most deserving patients are admitted in this hospital.  Number of patients is increasing daily due to the recent flu outbreak and the rainy season.  We have taken up the challenge to provide food for these patients and request your support.

Think of the blessings you are enjoying. When you have good food and good houses, think of the poor ones who are around us, extend a little help and be blessed for the good deed.

FOTGR is also looking for support to expand its ongoing assistance programs where we provide rice, milk, medicine etc to a few really poor families. For more information, please get in touch with FOTGR Chairman.

May the Almighty God bless you and your dear ones abundantly for all your good deeds.
