During this period of struggle, we the
Vimukti organization extended our concern and solidarity for the poor
and neediest around us. As we know, the outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic
has been variously affecting all walks of life. Thousands of people who
live from hand to mouth on a daily basis have lost their means of
livelihood. Through deprivation of jobs, their future dreams were
shattered into pieces. When we sensed the humanitarian emergency,
especially the cry of the poor people due to the unpredictable
situation, through the kindly generosity of our ensemble agissons
members, we straight away plunged into actions, rendering assistance to
the needy. Over 70 sponsored children were extremely delighted to
receive special Christmas Gifts like each families two chairs, Mats,
woolen blankets, plask, steel Tiffin boxes, steel teacup-set and tray
and food kit.
It is said, “Separations are wounds that no one can heal, but memories
are treasures that no one can steal.” It was painful to say good bye to
four of our senior sponsor children, but as they go for another stage of
experience which is the part of their life. To mark this event we gave
them memorable farewell with an excellent program along with sumptuous
meal.
It was the day the our beloved sponsored children took center stage; a
day the companions experienced mixed feelings of pride and sadness,
while the parents looked on joyfully; a day that will forever be etched
in the collective consciousness of Vimukti as covering yet another
milestone in this beautiful journey of togetherness. It was the most
awaited moment of the year for the outgoing batch- their Valedictory
Function. Fr. Sathish Fernandes then gave his dear students the greatest
gift of all – his blessings and wishes for each sponsored child to make
giant contributions to the society. Further, in his address shared his
childhood memories and advised the students to pursue a goal and to
strive to make a difference in this world.
Each sponsored child then had his\her moment of glory as he\she proudly
expressed their feeling through their heartfelt gratitude for all the
financial support and love they received from Ensemble Agissons, for
past ten years. Further he exhorted all the sponsored children saying
that every child should learn to give value for time and money the
sponsors spend on each child and always remain thankful to their
sponsors who are selflessly trying to give better education. Today is
the right time to remember them and to thank them for all their whole
hearted support and encouragement. He encouraged the rest of the
sponsored children to increase their participation in sponsorship
programmes. The dignitaries, proud parents and staff followed them to
partake in a sumptuous celebratory dinner. The Progarmme came to an end
by distributing prizes for the winners.
