Mizo women's unit donates firewood to schools for cooking midday meal
1 2 Aizawl: Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP) or Mizo women's federation's unit of Rulchawm village in Saitual district on Friday donated firewood to the primary school and middle school of the village to be used for cooking midday meal and to commemorate the MHIP Day, which falls on Sunday. Secretary of MHIP Rulchawm unit H Vanlalruali said the women's organisation members began collecting and donating firewood to help the needy people from the beginning of the year. "The firewood collected and donated by the MHIP members are given to the two village schools today as a part of MHIP day celebrations," Vanlalruali said. She said though the majority of the households in Rulchawm village no longer use firewood for cooking, the members continue collecting firewood from the nearby jungles and donated it to the MHIP unit. Those who do not donate fire wood also donated cash to help poor and needy people, she said. This year, the MHIP unit, on MHIP Day intends to hand over cash assistance to the inmates of the Sangtea Memorial Camping centre where a number of drug addicts are being treated and detoxed. The MHIP Rulchawm unit will celebrated the MHIP Day on Saturday when a community feast will mark the celebrations in the evening.
