Santwanam -policy for discussion

Dear friend,   

We give alms for the poor and forget about how they live. Only a few try to bring a difference in their lives. The less fortunate also wish to lead a normal life, not to be treated as social outcasts, and make an honourable decent livelihood.  

We NITC students are fortunate enough to receive good education and all associated facilities and amenities, we owe some responsibilty towards our society and  nation.We can   be a beacon of hope atleast for a few, make a difference, however small in our nieghbourhood. More over its an opportunity for us to give back some thing to our society which have painfully nurtured us in many ways. 

 We believe its nothing other than intense humanity which have driven Mr. Sudheer to initiate this mission that a few may dare to take. His  trust named SANTHWANAM  is for neglected and abandoned-orphans, street children and deprived sisters.We believe they also deserve same diginity of a social well being.Being a socially commited young man its our collective decision to help him in his endaveour. 

 Although we will handover by may 2012 ,it will be ensured that through our juniors this mission will continue for years to come. Dr.Paul Joseph, faculty from Electrical Engineering Dept., Will be  providing necessary guidance for us and help us to ensure accountability. 

 Our Vision 

1.Provide better infrastructure for the children for a better living. 

2.Rehabilitation of their mothers ,guiding them for an alternative livelihood and thus making ‘santhwanam’ a home for them too.

3.Making each child a true citizen of our country with high ethical values and a democratic and secular outlook. 

4.Initiating other socially relevant venture as time and fund permits. 

We have formed a  commitee to guide all our activities.They include,

Onam at santwanam

Dear friends,

Onam was celebrated in a grand manner by treating all the inhabitants of SANTHWANAM to an ‘onasadya’ and by distributing ‘onakodi’ and gifts. The experience was unique and poignant.

Most people prefer to spend auspicious days with their family members and friends. NITC M-Tech students came together to celebrate onam with santhwanam children.

The children were happy and fascinated with the gifts they received. They were singing and clapping to the songs, creating an atmosphere of excitement.

The presence of Dr. Paul Joseph marked an inspiration for all of us.

We hope that our effort would air a novel message to masses on the importance of true social concern for the poor.

Thanks and Regards..

Santwanam-first activity on 27th Aug 2011

As a part of our first venture towards ‘SANTHWANAM’, M-Tech students from IPA, EEE Department have made a humble donation as toys, small gifts and groceries for them.

After spending time at SANTHWANAM, we returned home with plans to provide a sustained help and support to improve the lives of the children at SANTHWANAM.

Thanks and regards...

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Please spare a few seconds

Dear Friends...

Most of us have been gifted with the best in our life. Some of us take for granted whatever blessings we have in our life, or we may not even take notice of them. If we take some time to look around us, we can notice several persons who have been denied of even the bare minimum. Only those who are humane enough can notice these and can try to do something at least to alleviate others’ sufferings..

Whatever we do, however small it may be will only add to our humaneness.

Mr.Sudheer, an ordinary man has chosen a path that only a few may take. He is providing shelter for a group of underprivileged small children at CHATHAMANGALAM, CALICUT. They are the kids of our some unfortunate sisters who were forced to lead a disgraceful life, and often tortured by the society.

Some M.Tech students have spent some time with them last week.

A Savings Account (10401162145) has been opened at NIT CALICUT branch, to help 'SANTTHWANAM', a trust formed by Mr.Sudheer. Arrangements have been made to transfer every month, Rs.100/- from the stipend account to this account for a period of September 2011 to May 2012 (till the stipend stops).

It would be better if our juniors carry on this trend after us. We should spread the word.Let this be a small beginning for a greater cause..

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
