We are happy to share the successful completion of the 170th week of Sangamam, held on 4th April at our Sailam center.

This week, although it was an election period, we gathered a small crowd of elders who were able to attend without transportation difficulties. Despite the limitations, the participants actively took part in the program.

During the session, we conducted a Mudra session with the support of our trustee, Mr. Muthukumarasamy. All the elders enjoyed and actively participated in the session.

We also introduced a new initiative called “Kai Pakkuvam”, where elders engaged in the preparation of traditional summer products such as vadagam and vathal. The elders enthusiastically worked together in peer groups, sharing their past experiences of preparing these items with their families, especially recalling the guidance of their mothers during earlier times. This interaction brought back fond memories and created a joyful environment.

Many elders expressed their interest in contributing to VAMA’s activities and showed willingness to support future initiatives.

Following the interaction session, the elders participated in Thodu Sigichai under the guidance of Sithar Cottam practices, with the support of our trustee.

Lunch was served to all participants, and the day concluded with everyone returning home carrying sweet and memorable experiences
