Hundreds of people, who are willing to help those affected by the recent cyclone, do not know where to start.

National Volunteer Steering Committee Chairperson – Zareena Begum says even though people are helping out affected families in whatever way they can, there are some people who have the perception that to help someone they need to be part of any volunteer committee.

Begum says as such, people need to be advised that volunteerism starts from within a person.
