These students studying in Class 8th, living in the Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu crowdfunded money from their classmates to build a toilet for their friend who did not have this facility at home.
They were extremely disturbed to see that their friend and classmate Agathiyan, who comes from a very poor family, was frequently falling sick and missing school and had even developed a skin disease on his foot caused by lack of sanitation facilities in his home. So, the four friends decided to take matters into their own hands. They raised money to build a toilet for him. To save expenses, they even did the actual construction work themselves. They were supported in their efforts by their teacher Veeramani, who helped them organise a rally to raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and health and having a proper toilet at home.
By selflessly helping a friend in this way possible, these children have set an example for others in their community that There is nothing bigger than Humanity. Never step back to help someone in need! Remember, the more you give, the more you shall receive.
