Dec. 26, 2009. Chennai. ExNoRa International today is Lighting 106 homes by providing them the Solar Lamp, which can give light to the people for the next 20 years.
Mr. Elangovan, MP, North Chennai and Mrs. Salma, Chairperson, Tamilnadu Social Welfare Board were the chief guest for this event.
Mr. Elangovan insisted on the usage of solar energy against the conventional and other renewable sources which are either scarce resource, huge setting up process or even some times hazardous to health. While comparing, Solar energy is safe, clean and green energy. Appreciating the services of ExNoRa, he also highlighted the role of NGOs who can reach the people quickly and offer the required services immediately, on the other hand Government bureau has to undergo various processes to execute a project which takes a longer period and some times get lapsed with time. He also promised to arrange few solar street lights to the people living there.
Mrs. Salma disheartened seeing the living condition of the people there. Admitting to the condition she encouraged people saying that she will speak to all the concern departments and arrange for the basic amenities including drinking water facility. “Women and children gets empowered when they have good and safe living environment, and lights after the sun set will increase their role productively to their family and to the society” she said. After addressing to the people they distributed the solar lamps as the initial level of safeguarding the people living there.
Earlier this hamlet near Tambaram Perungalathur Panchayat in the Kiskintha Road, has been identified by Mr. P.B. Sugumar, founder of Compassion Action Mission Charitable Trust and approached ExNoRa for the immediate remedy to provide light for these people. ExNoRa International under its Light A Home project has assessed and arranged to donate the solar lamps to the deserving people here. Snake bite, Scorpion bite and threatening of small fox were usual problem for them.
ExNoRa has a great feeling of compassion towards the lakhs and lakhs of common men who live in slums / Nari kuravas / pavement vendors, farmers, fisherman who do not even have a lamp in their house and use kerosene lamps for their daily needs. Each such kerosene lamps consume about 4 litters of Kerosene every month. This will clearly save about 45 lakhs litters of kerosene every year for next 20 years apart from giving light at these homes for reading and use. This scheme will also play a vital role in fighting against Global warming.
EI has already found around 15000 such families and with the association of NSS wings under University of Chennai, Anna University, Lions Club, Rotary Club and other NGOs will reach out to 1 lakh families before March 2010. We invite all the interested people to join hand in this scheme to completely eradicate the usage of kerosene lamps.
A small donation of Rs. 1500/- can light a home for the next 20 years. Donors can contact K.R. Jagadeesh Babu, Project Leader of Light A Home mission at 91766 26192 for further clarifications or write to donations@lightahome.org. Volunteers can themselves identify the beneficiary and donate this lamp in special occasions like their Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, Religious days etc.,
