Action like Worship
 

SFT strongly believes that the only way to carry out any task successfully is to treat it like worship. Every member of SF1 team engages herself in any task with a commitment that embodies the culture of worship.
The flood relief activity was also taken up like worship. The need for urgency, the regularity of briefing and review meetings, the planning and the actions, the sanctity of the timing of actions, the commitment to do the best, the approach to ne relief work, all these were the utmost display of the work is worship philosophy imbibed into the values of SFT.

That the work is worship is an embedded motto into each individual working with SFT can be understood with the following event.

Kalali, where our HO is, was also flooded with waters as high as 7/8 feet in some places. Our campus also got flooded fast. That day, we had two watchmen and one peon who had stayed late. These people showed exemplary courage and decision making they decided to stay together and save whatever they could. With whatever knowledge they had, they prioritized and moved records and other important articles to safer and higher areas.

For almost 3 days they remained with candlelight and lantern and managed to survive whatever food stuff was available to them. They were later on rescued by villagers.

And the worship is something that continues for life.

We have continued relief work into rehabilitation and development process. Based on the surveys, we have identified various activities that need to be carried out for long term benefits of the affected areas. These include

  • Provision of various agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers and crop nutrients to affected farmers.
  • Restoration of damaged water bodies such as check dam, ponds, and reservoirs.
  • Restoration of agricultural land to manage erosion caused due to floods.

The work continues, the worship goes on.

We, at SFT, will continue this journey as log as we have donors like you with us and the light of compassion to guide us. We will not rest, we will not wait but keep on going forward in service of community as there is so much to do and so little time. In words of Robert Frost…
