Celebration at Vimukti Pothnal:
‘Let
us move from untruth to truth and from darkness to light.’
The
Children’s Parliament caters for children below age of 18 years, and Children’s
Parliament gives a chance to speak for the children, by the children and of the
children. It serves as a platform for the children to develop leadership skills,
team spirit, analytical skills and maturity. This is none other than an
organization/movement for children. Today there are efforts all over the world
to help children to be in charge as children are the best agents of the much-
sought social change. Children refuse to be any more just objects to be looked
at. They are beginning to participate in various social and political
decision-making forum. They believe that they can do this better than the elders
without any inhibitions or slash expectations. They are not anymore just to be
governed, but also to govern. They have realized their rights to participate in
governing. Now Children parliament comes to their rescue which is a Children's
movement with deliberations, interventions and actions. On 3rd of November, 2023
Vimukti in collaboration with CRT Bangalore organized program on bringing all
talukas representatives of children on one platform at Raichur to raise their
voice against injustice done to them. Children’s parliament will help highlight
the problems faced by them in their respective schools and villages. Children’s
parliament programme has been introduced to help children list out their
problems of a particular constituency and make the respective elected
representatives take them up in legislature sessions and get relief. Vimukti
aims at making the children aware of the powers of a parliamentary democracy.
They would know how to be a responsible citizen and the importance of involving
themselves in community affairs. In eve of it the district level children
parliament training was held at Raichur. There were 55 children’s
representatives from various talukas were present to discuss the major burning
issues on children rights and how they are violated in Raichur district.

is where I learned about myself; facing fears, trying new things, pushing my

The
Vimukti Charitable Trust ® Pothnal, organized a Leadership training program to
our Vimukti Children Parliament members from 14th to 15th of October, 2023 at
vimukti premises. The sessions began by invoking the blessings of God by
reciting the preamble of the Indian constitution. Soon after the prayer session,
Vimukti Children Parliament coordinator Arogayappa welcomed the participants and
speakers of the day by calling them into the dais. Fr. Sathish Fernandes Vimukti
Director said,” Parliaments of children open horizons of the minds of the
children by introducing a broader society and a world beyond their immediate
circumstances. The Parliaments help children to succeed in life and to grow
individually as true persons”. The main objective of this training is to learn
to understand the process involved in the formation of children’s parliament and
its possibilities. The workshop contained four input sessions on children
parliament and leadership qualities. What is children’s Parliament? Prashant
kumar karabdini, in his presentation highlighted saying, 1. The students who are
busy only with text books, tuitions and examinations find themselves
ill-equipped to face the challenges and pressures of modern-day complex
realities of life. They lack the confidence and ability to live life to the
fullest. They easily become discouraged and at times get depressed. 2.The UNCRC
on the rights of child speaks of participation. Participation means finding out
and developing talents of children for a holistic growth, which is well
complemented by Children’s Parliament. In the Children’s Parliament, children
are exposed to all the procedures followed in the actual parliament, like filing
nomination, election of leaders, assigning responsibilities, analysing local
issues and problems in the monthly gathering of the parliament. Mr. Charlie the
vimukti staff said that the children’s Parliament members should discuss
regarding their own village problems like drinking water, toilets, basic
infrastructures in the schools, child rights etc. initially children used to by
shy address the parliament, but gradually from couple of experience they grow in
confidence.
Menstrual
hygiene management is one of the neglected health and hygiene issues surrounding
the rights of vulnerable adolescent girls in Manvi taluka. For hundreds of these
adolescent girls living in the villages, natural monthly occurrence is
disruptive. Adolescent girls in our targeted villages often deal with the lack
of access to menstrual hygiene products or if they are available the Sharp rise
in the price of sanitary pads makes it impossible to buy due to poverty. Stigma
and period poverty has a significant impact on the lives of vulnerable women and
girls in our village, who often must resort to using unhygienic alternatives
such as using old unhygienic clothes as sanitary pads. This causes discomfort
that can increase their risk of infections- especially since they are often
washed without detergents and dried indoors, out of shame and fear of
superstitions related to menstruation. 
267th
House Renovation work is in Progress - Yet another mile stone in sheltering the
POOR WIDOW. Vimukti is very grateful to all the Donors for their timely
financial wholehearted support. In return, we invoke God’s blessings on you and
your family. SEEK YOUR PRAYERS AND HELP, so that we could complete this little
house Project without much difficulty.
