The lockdown of 21 consecutive days has forced all the people to stay in the house. At the same time, to avoid coronavirus, things like masks, sanitizers, etc, are out of stock or so expensive that you have to think before buying it. On April 4, all the sisters residing in Patna Women’s College gave ration items to ten places in Patna where the transgender community resides. The same sisters are preparing masks for the people of the transgender community.

College Principal, Sister Maria Rashmi AC, told that some people of the transgender community have demanded masks from us. She told that “Masks are very expensive in the market and the price of masks that comes in use daily is 35 rupees. Their condition is not so good that they can buy masks, after which all of us sisters have decided to make masks.”

Sister Maria tells us that when they went to take clothes from the shop, they told the owner their purpose of taking those clothes, they gave us five clothes for free and said: “that we can do so at least this much for social service”. All the sisters and student sisters living in the college are working together on the sewing machines present in the Home Science Department for the last two days. “All masks will be sent to the community at various places on Thursday. It is expected that we will make about 400 masks. Outside the college, we will distribute some masks to those who are unable to buy masks. Not only this, ration will also be sent from Thursday on 14 centers of transgender community living outside Patna. These places include 146 people from different centers of Vaishali, Ara, Nawada, Patrichi, Jai Prakash Nagar and Chitkohra.” said one of the sisters.
