Green Care Mission’s Safe Care Centre a ray of hope for residents
For people living on the banks of river Iruvazhinji, rains give a season of nightmares. It’s the time they run for safety from the river in spate. Green Care Mission, an environmental organisation at Koolimadu near Mavoor, has now come up with a Safe Care Centre to make life easier for them during tough times. At the organisation’s eco-shop Green Carpet, which has been converted into the Safe Care Centre, several modern life-saving equipment, some imported from Europe, are on show. The most sought-after product is a water ambulance. “It is a German speed boat equipped with all that is needed in an ambulance, including a stretcher and a tent. But I modified it in such a way that it can now be towed behind an SUV when on land and be pushed into water when required,” K.T. Abdul Nassar, coordinator of Green Care Mission, said.More Related News
