Mangaluru: A class-2 boy from Mangaluru has extended helping hand to victims of Kerala and Kodagu floods in a unique way.

Muhammad Hisham, a second class student of the Surathkal Katipalla Narayana Guru English medium primary school is the generous boy who came forward for help.

Krishnapur resident BK Hidayat, Hisham’s father, had brought a plastic canister about a few months ago and guided him about saving money. Hisham was saving money in the box, and it was about to fill.

Meanwhile, Hisham, who had watched the recent landslide and floods in Kerala and Kodagu in TV, had seen the distress of the victims. When he saw various organisations and NGOs coming forward for their rescue, he too gave his money canister to his father to donate the money for flood victims. Then his father Hidayat, along with his son, came to Mangaluru and gave the box to the News Department Officer BA Khader Shah. The sum has been sent to the Chief Minister's Disaster Relief Fund.

This act of generosity is getting appreciated in the public.
