December 26th was the day when Annadhana was given its first assignment. The manager of a prominent marriage hall in Udupi called us at around 4 in the evening. Three members ( Mohit Kotian,Darshan Shet and Vikhyath Kumar) along with Ankith J Shetty worked to transport a whole 3 course meal from the hall premises to Spandhana (A home for the specially abled). Ankith's father was instrumental in convincing the manager to lend the necessary vessels for transport.
The team successfully completed the task at hand. But there was still a lot of food remaining. They decided to donate it to the people who lived in tents along the roads of Beedingudde,Udupi.The residents of that area where absolutely delighted.Although the team struggled to manage the large number of people, the experience was amazing.
On the 28th we received a similar call from the same manager.This time I managed to join the same 3 members on this task.It was a much easier task considering the fact that the amount of food was less.This time we directly gave it to the people of Beedingudde. It was a gratifying day overall and we hope to do more in the coming days!
