As planned we could visit V K Puram and continue our Sangamam program – 24th Week -31/12/22. While we were planning to visit individuals houses overwhelmingly Around 48 elders gathered in the hall. Last 2 days Vama team with volunteers were searching for a place to conduct event. Finally Amutha Amma who is currently in Bangalore with her son supported with the space at marriage hall. Hall is situated near to Sree Vazhi Adimai Konda Nayaki Sametha Sree Sivanthiappar temple. With blessings of Sree Sivanthiappar the event started. Participants of v k Puram have a warm welcome to Vama team. Smt Lakshmi shared her views on the importance of meditation to improve the immunity and how to be safe during any difficult situation. Vama team requested that elders to respect the youngsters lifestyle and the blessings they got from the elders. We only wanted that our children should not face the same difficulties faced by us. We have put all our life and sacrificed our life for their growth. Now we need to grace them and wish and enjoy with them in the Newage life. While doing so we must also leave our heritage and culture for their value based life. Without cursing them we should imbibe our culture with youngsters in various ways to enable them to understand the values. One of the participants shared the story of Hindi film Bhagban and mentioned that it was a good theme–people should not forget their parents and discard them when they get old. He quoted the incidents especially things like Amitabh’s glasses not being repaired. Sometimes the anger was also justified such as the late-night typewriter incident and the daughter coming back home at 3 AM. He added that The ever-growing love between Amitabh and Hema was really sweet. The success of the movie is that elders ability or skills never lost. It is not used. We as elders work together and leave something for the generations to come. Many shared their personal experiences and also things happening around us. All accepted that we would do something memorable by the youngsters. Sh Rangasamy, Sh Lakshman, Sh Thirmalai Murugan, Sh Vanaraj, Sh Sadasivam and Sh Ganapathy shared their experiences during their participation in the Saturday Sangamam. Some elders introduced their spouses and thanked Vama Team to come to their location as it enabled their spouses also participate in Vama activities. Susila Mami, Meenakshi Patti and Vanaja madam served tea and elders were served with Kara Kozhikattai and sweet kozhkattai. Vama team added Thengai Sadam as Prasadam from Sree Soundarya Ganapathy temple, Sailam. While many of the elders missed some of the activities normally they do at Sailam, they respected the views of trustees and elders to avoid crowd and be careful with the Covid19 new variant. All wishes each other a Happy Nee Year 2023.

We are glad to share that Women’s day was celebrated at Mannarkoil by the Vama Charitable Trust. World Women’s Day 2022 theme of # BReAKTHeBiAS
Women Inspiring Women.
In this event, inspiring women – Smt. Pushpa S Sankaraman, Smt. Pushpa Manikandan,Smt. Jyothi Kalpana (local municipal leader – recently elected), Ms.Ramya,organizer of women’s welfare and other leaders and members from Self help Groups participated and shared their experiences.
More than 130 women participated and some of them shared their views on women related issues.
Games like Musical Chair, Lemon and Spoon, Lucky Draw and One Minute game were organised and women forgetting their worries and time participated and enjoyed the moment of their presence.
The program was part of Vama’s project “Enable Elders to Pursue their passion” to give an opportunity to pursue dreams and passions that one might put on hold. Vama team members put forth the concept of “Me Too Know” for housewives. In the villages normally the students say that You Don’t Know Ma and mothers also graciously accept that. But it is unfortunate for both of them. By encouraging women to learn both digital literacy and English in the proposed Composite School, Vama wishes to bridge the gap between mother and children.

During the COVID-19, teachers of self-financing schools were one of the worst impacted and many became jobless due to closure of schools for a long time. Some teachers who lost their jobs worked as coolies, assisting masons, agricultural labourers, servers serving food during marriages etc to survive.
To support such teachers, our trust brought a proposal .
The program “Resilience” was conducted during April 2021 to November 2021 at 10 villages and around 210 students and 12 teachers benefited through this program.
Program “Resilience” helped students to continue to maintain and improve their academic skills and helped in removing the stress of unemployed or underemployed teachers through engagement in the Community School program. It involved a community for bringing togetherness for the development of education and drive for children’s future goals.
As the Program “Resilience” was intended more to remove the isolation and mental stress of the students who were away from the school for a long time, post reopening of the schools, the program came to an end.
(25TH SEPTEMBER TO 4TH NOVEMBER 2021)
In India, as many studies indicate, the abuse and neglect of the elderly mostly by the relatives and care givers, people the elderly know and trust, and which affects their quality of life as well as is a violation of their rights to a life of dignity and respect is emerging as a serious concern.
The focus of the family shifted to the children and the status of the elderly, who once ruled the family got degraded. Thus, they became a liability to the family and caring for the elderly became a challenge to the family as well as the society. There is an increase among the elderly living alone or living with partner only as the children left the family in search of employment or a better livelihood.
Living arrangement of the elderly plays a vital role in empowering elderly by giving dignity. Unlike the earlier traditional family system where the elderly were the key decision makers in the household, today’s family system has changed with change in the role of each individual; the elderly has an unimportant role. However, it is indirectly understood that elderly who experienced life satisfaction have dignity when they are living with their family. One can enjoy their life at the later stages of life if they would get proper care and love.
Further, older adults are more likely to have dire outcomes from the Corona virus. It can also be a challenge to prevent older people from being exposed to the virus because they may not be fully independent. We also have to think about all of the ways that the pandemic affects older people’s lives beyond morbidity and mortality from the virus itself. I am concerned about people experiencing social isolation as a result of not being able to have visitors and not being able to go out and do things with other people. The effects are compounded for any older person who doesn’t have access to technology platforms like Skype and FaceTime or who has limited access to phone calls. Many lower-income older people have pay-per-minute phone plans, for example, and may have to choose between using their limited minutes for a phone visit with a doctor or a conversation with a grandchild. So we can’t assume that a switch to virtual socialization or virtual access to resources is going to work for all older people. Moreover, the ongoing pandemic has caused unprecedented economic disruption and unemployment worldwide prompting both a financial and a humanitarian crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted communities throughout the worldwide. While the implications of the concomitant economic downturn for older adults are just beginning to be recognized, past experience suggests that the consequences could be devastating for many. Analyses indicate that more than one out of five aged 65 years or older suffers from high economic insecurity risks. These findings highlight the overlap between current infection patterns and subsequent challenges to economic security that are impacting older people. Strategies and supports for getting people back to work must take into account the large segment of older people who rely on earnings well into later life.
Understanding the current economic situation and the challenges faced by the elders, VAMA intends to provide facilities to prepare Diwali sweets with the inherent talents of elders and supply the same to corporates and establishments who provide sweets during Diwali occasion to their employees. It will benefit the elders to earn and celebrate Diwali with dignity and on the other hand, a tasty and home-made sweets are provided to the people with a Cause of their spending.
VAMA strongly believes that everyone is talented in one way or other and that such talents should not be wasted under the pretext of old age but instead be harnessed effectively and portrayed to the community.
We plan to instill a sense of achievement among the elders by
– Identifying and recognizing their latent talents in preparing the sweets and also by creating opportunities to showcase them through various enthusiastic activities.
– Portray the cause and value of the sweets prepared by such elders to various corporate organizations and thereby create opportunities for them to improve their financial status.
It is also proposed to seek donation and prepare sweets and other Diwali items by the elders and reach to those families who lost their only breadwinner during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apart from the above, during March & April 2021, 23 days vocational training for children at Avvai Ashram was conducted.
During the lock down due to COVID-19 pandemic, the whole week became Sundays. We had the possibilities to spend more time with our loving family. What didn’t we do? We did everything we could. We turned the pages of our life and went back to our childhood days and flew the kites, played some traditional indoor games with our loved ones, many turned into chefs and became expert in cooking, some of them turned into fitness freak and moreover many followed their hobbies and commenced the course of learning different skills.
After all, we were under one roof with the nurturing of our parents, siblings and other elderly persons in the family. But just think of the people who are far away from their loving family and the persons who don’t even have a family at all. They are all withholding from experiencing such care and affection.
In a family atmosphere we have an opportunity to obtain a value based education like we learn to sacrifice as we see instances where other members of the family will give up their things for us, we learn how to behave with elders and younger ones, we learn discipline, we learn the team work, enjoy the outdoor and indoor games with grandparents and other kids, we are emotional creatures; we learn to manage our emotions also when we live in a joint family and so on.
The children in Avvai ashram are brought up and protected with great care and parental love. They are been provided with all basic needs like nutritious food, clothing, shelter and education. Throughout the year, these children stay in the ashram to continue with their education. Only once or twice in a year, that is in summer holidays, they go to their respective native place to meet their family. So the children in ashram, due to some unavoidable reasons are foregone from growing in a normal joint family atmosphere as we do.
VAMA Trust conducted twenty three days program for the children of Avvai Ashram with some valuable concepts namely Shakti (Stamina), Bhakti (Devotion) and Buddhi (Wisdom).
Various activities including preparation of traditional food, playing traditional games and learning from our Ethikasangal were conducted.
The first case of COVID -19 Pandemic in the Indian state of Tamilnadu was reported on 7th March 2020.Tamilnadu has the second highest number of confirmed cases in India after Maharashtra. As a result of that, lockdown has been announced and institutionalised education was suspended. Schools have been shut to prevent the spread of the virus and this has given way to online classrooms a very new concept in India even for the most sophisticated schools.
But our Avvai ashram students were not nourished by such classes because all were from poor family and having a smart phone is a dream and in addition to that they all were students of government or aided schools.
Having this in mind our VAMA Charitable Trust planned to engage our children through online section. Not only engaging to add values into their life. They are sufficient in basic needs such as food accommodation and clothing but need guidance to achieve in their life. To be frank they need a parental touch to add values in their life.
So that We have divided the students into 5 groups. Each group has represented one leader and team members. The teams were named as
1.Truth Speaking
2.Honesty
3.Respect
4.Unity
5.Love and Caring
On 19th September 2020 and 20th September 2020 the Art of Living Program was held by Ms.SriRengamam, secretary of Avvai ashram and Mr.Jayakumar of AOL Team. In 19th September 2020 Truth Speaking and Honesty groups participated the students introduced themselves and they explained how to follow the truth speaking and honesty and the outcome of it
The remaining groups had participated in the session on 20th September 2020. This session is held by Mr. G Krishnamoorthy., and Mr. R. Venkatesh. The other groups of the students introduced themselves and explained how to respect others, how to be united with others and how to spread love and care in the society. Elders motivated the students by their experience and wished wholeheartedly the students who are about to propagate the values of honesty, truth speaking, Respect ,Unity and love and caring. Mr.Jayakumar sir also Motivated the students and taught the relaxing Asanas. The students participated with enthusiasm.
Due to COVID 19 VAMA charitable organized the Gandhi Jayanthi celebration through online.
VAMA trustees participated in -person. Gandhigramam
Trust, Managing Trustee Mr. Sivakumar participated online. He blessed Avvaiashram and told about the Gandhiji’s Sathya Sothanai book, He advised the children to follow Gandhiji’s words.
Gandhigram children sung the Gandhi Bajanai with the group, Avvaiashram children spoke about the incidents that happened in the Gandhiji’s life. Ms.Srirenkan and Mr, Balamuraugan also participated and spoke about the VAMA activities for society in association with Gandhi Gram Trust.
Gandhigram Sowbakya home children and Avvaiashram home program organized by VAMA online was a memorable one.
VAMA trustees all are committed to work for society and take the pledge on the stage.
