Visit by Cremers Family

Anavi Welcomes Mr. Peter Cremers, CEO, Anglo Eastern Group, and his family to Kolkata

“Many years ago someone told me that to do a good job; you have to put your heart in it. And that is what I saw here in the last two days. That you all have really put your heart into it.” Encouraging words by Mr Peter Cremers , CEO, Anglo Eastern Group, at the end of his two day visit to Kolkata.

Captain Vinay Singh summed it up very nicely, “We should aim to be frugal and be able to help a lot more people.” Captain Singh and Mrs Singh were also thoroughly impressed by work that Anavi has been doing in Kolkata.

Mr Cremers was joined by Mrs Cremers and their young son Enzo. Captain Tejpal and Mrs Tejpal accompanied the Cremers family from Hong Kong.

Two days was a short time but the itinerary was very well planned to visit as many institutes as possible.

The first day began with a short introduction to all members of Anavi and a presentation on the activities of Anavi . A brief description of the various institutes, that Anvi has been associated with was given.

The guiding principle of Anavi which is reflected in our logo was very well explained by Mr. Maneesh Pradhan.

The first stop was Sarsuna School in Behala, in the southern part of Kolkata. Anavi has been associated with Sarsuna school for more than five years and has extended help to the institute in many ways. This is a home for more than 200 girls and Anavi has plans to start computer classes here by providing them with computers and teacher. Helping girls to learn a skill to make them independent is also on the agenda. Sarsuna school has a vocational training centre also, which Anavi plans to support.
