Students from the Government Higher Secondary School at Meppadi are tirelessly volunteering at relief camps, assisting survivors of the recent landslides in the high-range district with food and supplies.

Teachers are also playing a crucial role, motivating and supporting the students, many of whom are part of NSS and NCC programs.

Despite the immense struggles and losses faced by the survivors, the students’ selfless efforts are highly commendable. They are providing both physical and emotional support, helping survivors cope mentally and physically.

“The people here are our friends and their families. We are deeply saddened by this incident, but I am happy to help,” said Aldriya, a student volunteer.

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 by sorting the clothes that have arrived for them.”

Mini, a teacher at GHSS Meppadi, said, “This is a tragedy. We are all saddened. There are restrictions on who can enter, and it’s an emotionally challenging situation. We are doing what we can to help, and the students are sorting clothes and assisting in any way possible. We lost a few students who are still untraceable. Around 1,000 people are in this camp, and we are praying for them. The world is praying for Kerala and Wayanad.”
