Rice Bucket Challenge: small effort in San Thome

The Rice Bucket Challenge found a place in San Thome on Sunday evening when members of the Golden Years Club, a community group of senior citizens donated money to buy two bucketsful of rice and donate it to two poor families of this area.

The donation was part of the Club’s monthly meeting.

Every second Sunday of the month, Club members meet at a space at St Bede’s School in San Thome to interact with a guest speaker, share snacks and have a good time. The meeting starts at 5 p.m. and the co-ordinator is Dr Betty D Souza, former MP and a San Thomite.
