“Where there is a will, there is a way,” said Hebbar, a Thane resident and entrepreneur. He is engaged in social activities ranging from medical relief work to food distribution to solid waste management.
Hebbar started the Helping Hands Charitable Trust in 2017. Through his association with the National Youth Project, which has moulded more than four lakh youth through week-long camps held in different parts of the country every month, Hebbar would mobilise volunteers wherever help was needed, whether at the time of natural disasters or a health crisis.
In 2020, when Helping Hands began to offer COVID-19 relief work, they had Rs 19,000 in their bank account. “We ended up doing work worth over Rs 2 crore over two years,” he said. He provided medicines, helped patients find beds, and distributed groceries to those in need.
