On 27th October 2021, the Vimukti
Charitable Trust® Pothnal launched the Magu-Nagu Program to cater to the
economically backward children. During the program the Trust distributed
the free Educational Kit consisted of the school bag and books for the
selected children. 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 mostly day laborers, migrates who have travelled other
cities in search of work living their siblings in their realities, or
work as auto drivers, rickshaw pullers, vegetable vendors, or domestic
help etc. We motivate their parents through counseling 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.
No doubt, our Trust, in fact, every year keeps encouraging these
children by providing them the educational Kit. Indeed, this program is
a real blessing because they have been chosen from our villages. The
chief guest of this program Rev. Fr. Satish Fernandes, Director, Vimukti
Trust, Pothnal addressed the gathering, saying: our Trust has a purpose
in organizing the various developmental programs for the children. If we
strengthen the children’s education at the grass root for surely, they
will grow to be better citizens of our nations. Education is the yard
stick to measure the wealth of the nations. In view of this, Trust is
always striving towards the strengthening of the hands of the parents to
encourage their children to learn and to get educated. Parents and
children need to remember- ours is the smallest role in your learning,
yet most important one. During the program Kumara Devaraja, Karabdinni
and kumara Sumalath, Pothnal were present on the stage. All the present
35 children were benefited from this program.
