Apsara said, “We are in the midst of a pandemic that is claiming lives and people are economically crushed. Many families are starving and hunger is humiliating. We met with so many families who hadn’t cooked a decent meal in months. It was heartwarming to see the love and gratitude in their eyes.”



Apsara also visited a children’s care home along with Sankalp, an organisation that provides aid to the needy and gave away chocolates, masks and many other essentials to children at the Church run home in Amjinkarai.
