Employed at a Government school, Prabhakaran has turned his house into a jumbo-sized kitchen to cook for the homeless. The tiffin centre did not last long as he landed a government job. A teacher at the Government Higher Secondary School at Manavalar Nagar in Thiruvallur, Prabhakaran has been handling the ladle, except for a few months when COVID-positive cases in Chennai dipped. However, the experience of running a tiffin centre came in handy,” says 38-year-old Prabhakaran, who teaches Tamil to higher secondary school students. Similarly, 44 families belonging to the Irular community in Gudiyam Caves near Sholavaram were provided with dry rations and food packets.
