Improve
knowledge through reading books: Vimukti Pothnal
Vimukti
children in the villages have given ample of opportunity to read books
of various interests especially on freedom fighters, scientists, true
leaders of our nation and many motivational and general knowledge books.
Thus apart from the school text books they are made aware of the wide
knowledge that one must have to cope up and come forward in the society
today as they grow up through reading these books. So Vimukti trust has
wide range of books in the library that are made available for the
children generously. This has improved their knowledge and thirst for
reading.
VCT
with the collaboration of Ensemble Agissons, France organized TB Mass
awareness program in the project area. The “Health for all” campaign
attempts to support people with TB patients, who have little help
navigating the health care system. Most of the times, due to low
awareness and support, TB patients have to go through social stigma,
misinformation and abuse. The campaign provides basic information about
the disease and helps people with contacts of doctors and counselors.
VCT Pothnal aims to spread awareness that TB is a treatable, bacterial
infection and people should not be made to feel guilty about contracting
the disease. Nursing staff along with ANM visited the houses and gave
awareness on TB to the families. So far we could reach 328 families,
thus many people appreciated regarding this program.
A
person who does not know to read and write faces many challenges in
life. They are unable to read sign boards, bus destinations, bank
transactions, help children in their education etc. they are often
cheated in the market place. The person lives with low self-esteem and
becomes incapable to defend or speak up in any forum. Illiteracy is a
serious challenge in many rural communities of India, where the average
literacy rate is around 65% which is far below the nation average of 74
%( Census2011). The low functional literacy continues to be a great
challenge and hinders development in any form. As a strategy, vimukti
Pothnal strives to reach the most marginalized communities in society;
thus this project has reached some of the most backward and
disadvantaged villages of Manvi taluka. More than 91% of those reached
are from SC, ST, OBC and minority communities. 20 facilitators in 20
villages were directly involved in steering the project at the grass
root level. The project used computer based functional literacy
software, a laptop, two speakers, one projector and UPS. Month of
November 580 learners appeared for an internal test to assess their
learning and learners appeared for the exam conducted by national
institute of Open Schooling in collaboration with Saakshar Bahrath
Mission. The project area is Urban and Slum area of Manvi town and
Education kits like note books, pencils, pens black board color pencils
etc were provided to the beneficiaries during the training.
Vimukti
Charitable Trust in collaboration with Mr. Ashok & family and F-Fitness
First Company Dubai distributed Company T- SHIRT to underprivileged
children and Youths of surrounding villages of Pothnal, Raichur,
Karnataka. "It is indeed was a special moment to see children were happy
to see the gifts as token of love”. Believing in the happiness of all,
there are some benevolent people and groups who make sure that everyone
has smiles on their faces." It was a small gesture by the generous
donors from Dubai, Mr. Ashok & family to express that they care for
unprivileged kids too, Fr. Sathish Fernandes, Vimukti Charitable Trust
Director Fr. Sathish Fernandes parents also appreciated the initiative
taken by Mr. Ashok and family to inculcate the habit of sharing and
giving. We are very grateful to you the generous donors who have helped
these poor children through your contribution. May God bless your
generosity in hundredfold, children and parents gathered to express
their deep gratitude to our beloved donors and F-Fitness First Company
benefactors. Let us continue this partnership in ‘reaching the unreached’
for those who are hardly visible in the mainstream. VIMUKTI Trust will
always remain indebted and appreciate the efforts taken to make
difference in the lives of poor marginalized children of this locality.
Vimukti
Pothnal in collaboration with Hosa Belaku Israel organized summer camp
on 25th November 2019. “You are the light of the world” is
the teaching of Jesus. In order to brighten the lives of the children in
the villages we sowed the seed of brightness by arranging a summer camp
for all the children in the villages irrespective of caste and creed. We
tried our best to teach them how to fish rather than giving them fish.
Vimukti
Pothnal in collaboration with Vimukti Charitable Trust Group Israel
organised program on distribution of Educational materials to the poor
children in the villages of Manvi Taluka. Many students in our service
area are dropping out of school before graduation, since their parents
cannot to afford to provide uniform, text books, school bag and such
other items. Their parents are mainly working as day labourers, work as
auto drivers, rickshaw pullers, vegetable vendors, or domestic help.
Some of their parents have migrated to big cities in search of jobs. We
motivate their parents through counselling sessions to send their
children to school. VIMUKTI has been providing educational material to
these poor children who attend Government Schools. We provide
educational material consisting of text books, notebooks, geometry box,
pencils, pens, and school uniforms, clothes, shoes, school bag, lunch
box. We select the candidates by personal visits to their homes to
assess the family background. We also take inputs from the school head
masters to select the students who are doing well in studies. So far we
have provided such support to about 10,845 students studying in classes
from 5th to 10th standard. There is pressing need to help more poor and
needy students for continuing their education you can donate for
educational material for these deserving children, and thereby ensure
that they do not drop out of school..JPG)
CHILDINE
Collab, VIMUKTI Raichur, organized Child Sexual abuse awareness
programme at Govt. Higher Primary School Raichur Taluka collaboration
with government high school Zairabad. Mr. Sudharshan coordinator,
Childline, in the key note address spoke about Child Rights and
responsibility of children. Mr. Mukanna, team staff CHILDLINE, Raichur,
addressed the gathering and briefed about the objectives and purpose of
the open house programme. The Police Sub Inspector exhorted the children
to stay away from evil elements in the society. Child protection has
three important pillars on which it rests. Prevention, intervention and
Rehabilitation, especially in the case of child abuse, we believe that
prevention is the most important pillar because if a case reaches the
intervention stage where abuse has already happened, the damage caused
to the child is immense and as all of us believe “prevention is better
that cure”. Children shared about the various issues and the authorities
present suggested possible solutions to them. Various child right issues
and other difficulties faced in the school were discussed before the
concerned authority and sort the clarifications. Nearly 285 children
attended the program.
VIMUKTI
organized summer camp to all our club and parliament children of our
villages. The main intention of this program was to get numerous
opportunities to the children to grow and learn new things. Various
sessions on life skills, awareness on health and hygiene, training on
good manners, information on moral values, child rights, and leadership
and other activities like ice breaking sessions, outdoor games, etc were
part of the summer camp. More than half of the inhabitants of the
rapidly growing cities and the rural villages consist of children. In
most situations they are deprived of support, guidance and education.
Our focus was on the most vulnerable group, that is, children who fall
into the problematic categories such as child laborers, street children,
school dropouts, orphans, and children living in risky conditions,
children and youth from dysfunctional families and disadvantaged
communities, children affected/infected by HIV/AIDS and children in
conflict with the law.
