Anavi has always believed in having a celebration with a difference for the betterment of someone’s life.

It took some time but finally it was a matter of pride for all of us to see the completion of Pratyusha home renovation project. Pratyusha Home is run by Voice of World and is home to around 150 destitute. Most of them are blind.

Anavi members made a very memorable visit to Sundarbans earlier this month where we touched many lives.

Besides, we also made good progress with the renovation of Pratyusha home, the centre of […]

Visit to Sunderbans to provide relief material to families affected by the cyclone Yaas and Tiger attacks

Yaas was a very severe cyclonic storm that brought significant impacts to parts of West Bengal, especially the Sunderbans areas in late May 2021.

Anavi undertook an ambitious project to provide relief materials to families affected by this natural calamity. We also came to know that many of the families have lost male members to Tiger attacks.

Mr. Ujjawal and Mr. Subhasis who have worked extensively among the people of Sunderbans islands, considered endangered in a 2020 assessment under the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework. They provided us the feedback about the needs of the people and Anavi stepped up to the challenge.

It is a moment of pride for all of us at Anavi as we begin year 13.

A formal celebration at the institutes, as has been the practice for so many years, was not possible due to the social distancing norms. Staying true to the spirit of “celebrating with a difference” – Anavi members visited Apon Ghar and Voice of World to make this a very special anniversary celebration.

It was something that one of the administrators said that really touched us,

“We have not seen you in some time, but we knew you were always there. We missed you while you were gone.”

It is good to be back doing what we do best. It is still a long way to go before things are “normal” again but Anavi members are positive about doing their best in spite the challenges.

One of our goals this year is to make a bigger impact. In Voice of World we have such a partner who shares a similar vision.

Anavi members visited the institute in January to give the monthly supply of 75 litres of mustard oil. At the premises in Behala, Voice of World runs a primary school. The school roof and structure were badly damaged during the last year’s cyclone, Amphan which created havoc in Kolkata. Voice of World has managed to get the roof repaired and are keen to start classes there.

Anavi has proposed to run the school with them. The model followed will be similar to Janvi-Anavi school at Mumbai. They will present us a proposal and after discussion with Anavi Mumbai we will finalise the project. We believe this project that can really help us make a big impact in lives of the underprivileged.

Voice of World also run a school cum boarding centre at Saltighat. They teach not only blind children but also other children from underprivileged background with limited mental ability. Anavi members also visited that centre on 1st March to assess if we could take up a long term project there. Further discussion about that will happen once a proposal is received from Voice of World.

Anavi members also visited an old age home at Barul (about 30 kms) from Kolkata. A few sarees were donated to the inmates there.

After a long hiatus where the ability to visit the centre was greatly restricted, Anavi has started the new year with a zeal to make a greater impact and become stronger in our vision to make a kinder society.

Hope to bring some cheer this year to the ones who were most affected.
