Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations with a difference

Anavi members at Kolkata – following the tradition of celebrating with a difference – chose to make the Christmas celebrations extra special for the children at Cremers Foundation Sarsuna and Voice of World.

Members visited the institute on 24th December and shared the lunch with them. This was the monthly lunch that Anavi sponsors for the children of the institute. What made the day extra special for all of us was the amazing performance by the girls. Besides studies, Anavi has always encouraged extra-curricular activities for all round development of the children.

Celebrating Children’s Day -Visits to Cremers Foundation and Voice of World

Anavi made the Children’s Day celebration extra special for the girls at Cremers Foundation , Sarsuna. The monthly lunch menu comprised of their favorites � chilly chicken and fried rice. The extra fruits provided as a part of the celebrations made it unforgettable for them. Anavi members always look forward to this day of the month. They get a chance to interact with these wonderful girls who are overcoming great odds to make their lives better. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.

Our second visit of the month was at Voice of World to supply the monthly ration of 75 litres mustard oil. Positivity of those blind under privileged always rubs off on us. It is with a great sense of gratitude that we depart each time filled with motivation to do better.

Books Distribution

They say it for a reason that books are your best friends. The best habit we can inculcate in children is reading because “You Become What You Read”.

Keeping this in mind, members of ANAVI Kochi chapter decided to set up a library in one of the schools in Kochi. St. Michael’s Lower Primary School located on the coastal highway of Kochi was chosen in September 19′. Over a period of 45 days, our members collected 650 books.

Puja Celebrations

Anavi has always believed in having celebrations with a difference. Be it any festival or our anniversary. Continuing the tradition of spreading cheer to the under privileged during the season of Durga Puja and Diwali, we organized our visits to two of the institutes that have long been part of the Anavi family.

First up was Topsia Creche. Anavi members visited the institute and distributed new clothes to the 30 odd children at the school. We have a long association with this institute since our early days. Every year during the Durga Puja we distribute a new set of clothes to the children there. The children studying there are from very poor backgrounds with parents working as day laborers and maids. Even a small gift brings sparkle in their eyes. Their gratitude is our gift.
