Stakeholders Training Held at Vimukti Pothnal
On
January 20th, 2025, a stakeholders' training session was conducted at the
Vimukti Center. Participants from four villages actively engaged in the program,
including four Nodal Teachers, four Rakshaks, four Grammitras, and four
community leaders.The training focused on addressing the critical issue of human
trafficking and raising awareness about its social implications. The
participants were highly engaged throughout the session. Discussions highlighted
how human trafficking violates basic human rights and disproportionately affects
minors, women, and young girls, pushing them into vulnerable situations. The
training emphasized the collective responsibility to protect these marginalized
and at-risk groups. Participants also gained valuable insights into the adverse
effects of social media misuse and the importance of utilizing helplines to take
prompt and effective action against such crimes. The session included group
discussions, followed by presentations from each group on strategies to make
villages safer for children and women. One participant shared their thoughts,
stating: "This training has strengthened our resolve to combat human trafficking
and protect the vulnerable. It has empowered us with knowledge and tools to
build a safer environment in our communities." In total, 16 members participated
in and benefited from this training. 
On
January 12, 2025, Vimukti Charitable Trust organized a vibrant and distinctive
Children’s Fest at its premises. The event brought together 55 sponsored
children and their families, along with participants from seven government
school clubs and parliament children groups. A total of 418 children and parents
participated in this joyful celebration. The day was filled with colorful
performances, as the children and staff poured their time and energy into
preparing a variety of dance and music programs. This year’s celebration was
uniquely creative, setting a new benchmark for such events at Vimukti. The event
was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including the newly elected president of
Ensemble Agissons, Mrs. Maryann, the founder, Mr. Daniel Helbert, and the
vice-president, Mrs. Bernadette. The dignitaries were warmly welcomed by the
children with bouquets of flowers, a gesture that set the tone for the day.
Throughout the program, the dignitaries witnessed the children’s performances
with great enthusiasm. Mr. Daniel Helbert delivered an eye-opening message,
while Mrs. Maryann inspired everyone with her thoughtful and encouraging words.
“Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together, they make this
world a beautiful garden,” she said, emphasizing the importance of nurturing
young minds. Vimukti made this event not only entertaining but also educational,
benefiting both children and the public. Parents and dignitaries praised the
innovative approach of combining fun with meaningful learning. The feedback from
attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing the day as a
fabulous and memorable experience. Indeed, the event exemplified Vimukti’s
commitment to fostering joy, creativity, and learning in the lives of children
and their families..JPG)
"Education
is the key to unlocking a brighter future." This Christmas, Vimukti Pothnal,
brought joy and hope to 350 underprivileged children by distributing school bags
in our targeted villages. For many children in these communities, the lack of
basic school supplies often becomes a barrier to continuing their education.
Their parents, who work as daily laborers, auto drivers, or domestic helpers,
struggle to meet even basic needs. Some families have migrated for work, leaving
children with relatives, further increasing the risk of school dropouts. Through
this initiative, we provided proper school bags to children who previously
carried their books in plastic bags. The joy on their faces and the pride they
felt in receiving these gifts truly reflected the spirit of Christmas. These
simple yet essential items are helping them stay motivated in their educational
journey. So far, 350 children have benefited, ensuring they can focus on their
studies without unnecessary hardships. "A little help, a little hope, and small
acts of kindness can transform lives." Together, we’re empowering children with
the tools to dream, learn, and build a brighter future.
"For
it is in giving that we receive." - St. Francis of Assisi
"We
make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." – Winston
Churchill
On
December 22, 2024, Vimukti Charitable Trust hosted a joyful Christmas
celebration at its Pothnal premises, bringing cheer to 100 underprivileged
children and their families from nearby villages. The event began with a warm
welcome by Mr. Arogyappa and a heartfelt prayer service, setting a festive tone.
The highlight was the distribution of thoughtfully curated gift packages,
filling the children’s faces with radiant smiles. Volunteers and staff ensured a
seamless event, fostering a sense of belonging and hope for the families. The
day concluded with gratitude and joy, reflecting the true spirit of
Christmas—love, unity, and giving.
