With Kerala reeling under the pandemic, Lakshmi N Menon began the CoVeed campaign. At the outset, it is a house made of paper (Veedu is House in Malayalam), the kind school kids can easily fashion out of A4-size sheets. Inside the house, people are urged to set aside a share of grain or pulses and donate to the needy.
One CoVeed can hold enough rice for a meal for two. Hundreds of people supported the campaign, sending meal ingredients in paper houses of every shape and hue to orphanages and old-age homes.
“The spirit of CoVeed is sharing. I began it as a leisure activity during the lockdown days but seeing the support from people I thought of giving it a social dimension. CoVeed symbolises our care for others.”
says Lakshmi Menon
