Dear Friend,
I am writing this letter to share my experiences during a rescue operation. You might have heard about the recent earthquake that rocked some areas of Sikkim. The earthquake was devastating, killing thousands and rendering hundreds of people homeless.
Being the part of NCC of my school, I got the opportunity to participate in the noble mission of helping the distressed. We started the rescue operation on the morning of Sept 15, 2012. Foul smell was coming from all directions. Many were dead and some were stranded in the debris. In the first half my team was able to rescue 60 people. We carried them to the nearby tents erected by the Army Medical Corps. We worked round the clock and the operation continued for three days. I could not sleep at night as the scenes of helpless people kept streaming in my mind. After we returned, the school staff and the officer in charge of NCC appreciated our work.
I would also suggest you to join the NCC as a cadet and play constructive role whenever required.
Yours truly,
Ritesh Thakur
