Nigeria – educational field trip to historical library centre

  As you are aware at CRIMMD, we run among many others a 'Free Skill Acquisition Center'. for the economic emancipation of women to be self reliant. We have been creating skilled women that are now less depended on their husbands all of the times, women that widowhood is no more the end of their life, women that are forging ahead in good and bad times. I believe the world can only move forward through the contribution of women. On this occasion it was a mixed group who benefited from historical workshops, artefacts displays and home cooking demonstrations.

Many  thanks from A Ray of Hope, UNESCO Youth Ambassador for the Culture of Peace to the proprietors, staff,  and customers of  Aghalee Centra, Aghalee Pharmacy, Aghalee  Building and Agricultural Supplies.  The generosity is overwhelming and covers the cost in entirety.

On this occasion it was our intention to purchase sports’  tops for Emma international School, Nigeria but due to term dates and  a  greater necessity it was decided that reading and  jotters/ notebooks would be  more appropriate. 32 packs of books for all ages in the school were purchased.

The next project for the collection boxes will be the provision of solar panels for a vulnerable community villages in Philippines.  Thanks again -- Don

India - 2 initiatives managing stress and mental health - residential excursion life opportunities and experiences

 India - – congratulations to the inspirational Sujata and her teams  two further wonderful initiatives.

It's the examination season at the School of Happiness.

We are grateful to Apollo Spectra Hospital, Chirag Enclave, Delhi for organizing a special session on Managing Stress and Mental Health by Dr Jyoti Mishra, Psychologist.

 Our offsite excursion to Aurovalley Ashram, Uttarakhand with our Senior School students of the School of Happiness.

Through the 4 day unique Ashram Life Experience, the goal was to give our children an opportunity to step away from chaos and immerse themselves in a structured, serene and spiritually enriching lifestyle that combines meditation, yoga, mindful routines, spiritual learning and community living to holistically nurture the mind, body and soul.

Their day began at 6am with meditation, followed by yoga, eating breakfast and all meals mindfully in silence, shram daan, gaushala + unidiversity visit and spending time with Swami ji. They also participated in outdoor activities like Ganga snaan and Ganga Arati at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh

It was a life changing and fulfilling experience for the children and they have returned with many learnings that they wish to apply in their day to day lives.
