Mogall Veronica bab,
Greetings from Thomas Stpehens Konknni Kendr (TSKK).
Recent torrential rain and flood situation created havoc in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Maharashtra. Canacona taluka too was hit by rain and flood. Two of Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr (TSKK) staff members Ms Basavva Chalawadi and Mr. Ningappa Chalawadi from Bagalkote district of Karnataka lost their two mud houses with all their belongings and farm products and standing crop was totally destroyed. Their handicapped brother was living in one of these mud houses. Basavva and Ningappa are really poor and they lost their parents when they were young. They earn their livelihood by working in TSKK. Both of them faithfully and with love and dedication served Fr. Matthew Almeida my colleague at TSKK for 23 years during his sickness. Since they have lost everything in their native place it is my sacred duty to help them to rebuild their houses.
Basavva and Ningappa are not in a position to contribute financially to rebuild their houses. However they will do the manual work while rebuilding the houses. Since their village has a lot of monkeys, tile houses are not advisable. Hence I intend to rebuild their houses (two rooms each) with stones and concrete roof. I intend to start the work after Christmas. The rough estimate to build these houses will be Rs 2.25 lakhs. With the corrupt government system in Karnataka, one cannot expect anything for the poor and needy from the government sources. I rely on God and the people of good will.
As a close friend of TSKK, I request you to help me as best as you can. No amount is too small for me. You can contribute either in cash or cheque written in my name or in the name of Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr. In case you need any further information kindly do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours truly,
Fr. Pratap Naik, S.J.
Director
