A Catholic school in Delhi is feeding migrants, destitute, and elderly caught in the in nationwide lockdown to contain coronavirus.

It all started with a desperate Whatsapp call Father Savariraj, the principal of Rosary School at Narela in North Delhi district, received on March 30.

The priest immediately convened a meeting of the school’s teaching staff on Zoom app and appealed them to donate rations.

“They responded positively, generously and willingly,” the priest says.

Meanwhile, Father Savariraj approached the Station House Office of the local police station to seek permission to distribute the groceries. The SHO gave a written permission.

Father Savariraj with Pratap, a staff, on April 3 distributed food to scores people, including residents of Philomena Paradise, an old age home on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.

“We see hundred thousands of migrants staying under flyovers during the lockdown,” Father Savariraj says.
