On Thursday afternoon, M. Nethra, a 13-year-old resident of Melamadai in Madurai, received an unexpected phone call. It was from a person who claimed he was with an NGO called the United Nations Association for Development and Peace (UNADAP). He asked if Ms. Nethra was willing to be their goodwill ambassador to the poor. Mr. Mohan said that it was his daughter who strongly insisted that they give away their savings to feed the poor during the lockdown. This position would give her an opportunity to speak to world leaders, politicians, academics and professors.
