❈ May 11, 2014: Free Eye Check Up

Today, on Mother’s Day, Ekatha, along with Amardeep Eye Hospital organized a free eye camp at Poonthara. The arrangement at Poontara was led by Mr. Bibin Das, an English Lecturer and his young team. Our thanks to them for organizing the camp. Seventy men and women had their eyes tested and 27 will receive  glasses over the next week or so. Our thanks also to the Church at Poonthara for announcing the camp. Many aged mothers and fathers, who could not travel alone to town to see an eye doctor,  took advantage of the occasion.

❈ May 3 and 5, 2014: Leadership Workshop/ Skills Training 

Ekatha sponsored leadership training and skills development to a batch of about 20 young women. Thanks to Ms. Elizabeth Cheeeran for organizing a highly enjoyable leadership training and to Ms. Mintu Joy for teaching the young women how to make beautiful paper jewelry. The young women are asking for more.

❈ May 11, 2013: Painting Competition 

Ekatha organized a painting competition for school students in the afternoon of May 11th. The competition took place on the Museum grounds surrounding the Band Stand where Ms. Khyrunnisa A, author of “Howzzat Butterfingers” was the chief guest. The students were divided into three groups and each of them were given a different topic:

✦ Classes 1-5:  My Neighbourhood
✦ Classes 6-8: Oru Jathi, Oru Madom, Oru Devam
✦ Classes 9-12: Gender Equality or Violence Against Women

Ekatha aims to set in motion thought waves across the social spectrum because active involvement of the public is more effective than any legislation. This event was a step in that direction as it provided a platform for young minds to be conscious of these issues.  About 35 children participated. The first prize winners from the three groups were Anit Salu (Nirmala Bhavan), Reshma PD (Bharatiya Vidyala Bhavan), and Gautami (Saraswathy Vidyalaya).  The event included a Quiz competition on the same themes. Ms. Khairunnisa, the author of the Butterfingers series, was the Chief Guest.
