1/ #Bengaluru cousins are providing 400 litres of milk to underprivileged children daily amid lockdown
2/ "When we went to distribute the ration kits, we discovered that the young ones had nothing to eat. They really needed milk," says Zeeshan Javid of Bengaluru, who joined hands with his cousins Zufishan Pasha and Shehzar Sheriff to initiate 'Mission Milk'.
3/ Under this, volunteers distribute milk packets to underprivileged kids whose families cannot afford this vital nutrient. What started with just 60 litres of milk, has now evolved into a 400-litre a day operation.
4/ "Initially, we visit the area to gauge the demand and identify a local volunteer to distribute the milk. The nearest Nandini parlour is then contacted and the volunteer picks up the milk from the parlours regularly", says Zeeshan.
5/ Explaining that precautions are taken to ensure the safety of the volunteers as well as the beneficiaries, the 27-year-old says,
"Instead of asking them to form queues, our volunteers from the particular area distributes the milk door-to-door. This ensures social distancing."
