Marunadan Malayali Chief Editor Mr. Shajan Skariah among around 30 participants in skydiving charity event at England on 8th September to support poor nursing students in Kerala
British Malayali Charity Foundation’s skydiving event has been boosted with the announcement of Shajan Skariah’s participation. The fundraising charity event has so far raised over £17Ks equal to Rs.17 lakhs with the efforts of around 30 skydiving participants. Shajan said in a statement that he is very proud in taking part in the challenge, wherein he himself formed British Malayali Charity Foundation in 2012 while he was in England. The foundation has given around £ 1.3 million, approx. Rs.13 crores to hundreds and thousands of people in UK and in India, who were struggling with life threatening diseases or due to the sad demise of their family members. Apart from his profession as a free and fair journalist, Shajan is a fearless crusader against injustice, malpractices and corruption in the system. He was haunted by the govt in Kerala in the recent past fabricating false allegation charges by the police and the officials. However, the honourable courts including the apex court in India bailed out him in different occasions rejecting the plea to be jailed.
While he has shown his courage and enthusiasm in reporting the news to support the oppressed ones in the society, he has now come forward to give a hand to the poor nursing students by taking up a physical challenge also. Shajan has already been working in the society by helping the underprivileged and deprived and he wants to make a positive impact in their lives by pursuing english version of charity wherein the fundraiser always needs to do something like a run or any other physical activities to raise funds. The nursing profession has made a very prosperous change in the financial equation of Kerala as many struggling families have been able to have a better life with economic stability. The keralaites were always in the forefront to grab every available opportunities around the globe including UK for the high demand of nurses. Not only they were able to settle well around the world but their families in Kerala also benefitted from their overseas jobs.
British Malayali Charity Foundation had conducted these events previously as well and hundreds of nursing students were supported financially out of the funds raised.
