Chennai, Aug 18 (NationPress) Actor Raghava Lawrence, renowned for his philanthropic efforts, expressed that his heart is truly full after assisting a father who had to pawn his late wife's mangalsutra to secure his daughter's education.
The actor, who actively supports the underprivileged through his initiative Maatram, took it upon himself to reclaim the gold mangalsutra that a struggling father had pledged to pay for his daughter's college fees.
He shared this heartfelt story on his X timeline, stating, "Hello everyone! I stumbled upon a tale of a father who had to pawn his late wife's thali to fund his daughter's education. This resonated with me deeply, as my own family faced a similar challenge. Through Maatram, I managed to retrieve the thali and return it to him. This was not merely gold, but a treasured memory of his dear wife. My heart is truly full today. #Maatram #serviceisgod"
This is not the first instance of the actor's generosity. Last year, he purchased 10 tractors and distributed them among impoverished villages throughout the state to aid struggling farmers.
Many grateful farmers who received the tractors visited him this year to express their appreciation by presenting him with a share of their harvest.
The actor, director, and producer previously shared this uplifting news on his X timeline.
He mentioned, "Dear friends and fans, as you know, I donated 10 tractors to farmers through the Maatram Foundation using my own funds. The farmers invited me to receive the grains and vegetables they cultivated with the tractors. My heart feels so full to accept their offerings, and I aspire to further assist farmers in the future. #Serviceisgod #Maatram."
A video clip revealed the farmers presenting their produce to the actor.
Among the farmers, one remarked, "The tractor that Master (Raghava Lawrence, affectionately called Master due to his background as a dance choreographer) provided us last year has been beneficial not only to us but also to every impoverished farmer in our vicinity. Our entire village felt it was important to present our produce to the master as a token of gratitude."
Another young farmer highlighted that each tractor cost around Rs 10 lakhs, while a woman farmer expressed hope that the actor would be able to provide many more tractors to farmers statewide.
