UAE’s ‘Pencilman’ pledges 100,000<br />
pencils for Kerala Schools<br />
We are proud that CA Venkatraman Krishnamoorthy, has<br />
pledged to donate 100,000 pencils for flood-affected schools<br />
in Kerala, India. CA Venkatraman known as ‘pencilman’, will<br />
also be supporting 50 schools in the south Indian state by<br />
supplying free stationery items and uniforms.<br />
Since CA Venkatraman is also associated with the Emirates<br />
Red Crescent, he has also been working as a conduit<br />
between corporates, schools and charity organizations.<br />
His coordination helped a radio drive collect 7.5 tons of<br />
relief items for Kerala flood victims.<br />
CA Venkatraman is waiting for the situation in Kerala to<br />
stabilize so that he can personally visit the schools and find<br />
out the condition and requirement. He will then choose the<br />
50 schools in the most remove areas to support them.<br />
CA Venkatraman said “Gradually we will be sending colour<br />
pencils, uniforms and more stationery items. So the plan<br />
is to give out items to about 1,000 schools in Kerala by<br />
October end”<br />
