Hamilton, New Zealand – 01 Mar, 2024

In the face of tragedy, the local community of Hamilton is rallying together to support the family of Ananth Vikranth during this challenging time. The Tamil Society Waikato, led by Secretary Ashvin Illangeshwaran, is spearheading a significant effort to assist in the repatriation of Ananth Vikranth’s body to his grieving parents in India.

Ananth Vikranth, a beloved member of the community, tragically lost his life, and the community is now coming together to help cover the various costs associated with the repatriation process. The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) will be contributing to a portion of the expenses, with the local community stepping in to cover the remaining costs for the repatriation.

Ways to Contribute:

1. Monetary Donation: The community is appealing for financial support to directly contribute to essential expenses such as travel costs, documentation fees, and other related costs associated with the repatriation process. Donations can be made through the Give a Little page dedicated to the cause: Give a Little – Repatriation of Ananth Vikranth.
2. Spread the Word: For those unable to contribute directly, the community encourages everyone to make a significant impact by spreading awareness about the repatriation initiative. Sharing information within personal networks can play a crucial role in garnering support.

The Tamil Society Waikato expresses gratitude for any consideration and emphasizes the positive impact that collective generosity can have on those in need. The community believes that, together, they can bring hope and relief to Ananth Vikranth’s grieving family.

The heartfelt message concludes with a poignant “Rest in Peace Ananth” and expressions of gratitude in both Tamil and Maori – “நன்றி, Ngā mihi.”
