Dear Donor/ supporter !

CHHASE & our staff & our beneficiaries, Wish you HAPPY “Women’s day”, which we have celebrated on 25th  march & 26th march, 2021.

Your generous support helped us to save our beneficiary and their families from the spread of pandemic and enabled us to provide sanitizers, masks, glouses,soaps and mainly food groceries to keep them without starvation during COVID-19 pandemic.

New Dresses to tribal children.

Pandemic COVID-19 bankrupted almost every one. This tribal are no exemption from it. They lost their daily wages and suffered badly. In this critical condition, CHHASE helped them with ration kits twice and we provided clothing during lockdowns.

Today 26th mar, 2021, we have distributed new clothes to 100 tribal children, who are otherwise left to wear shabby clothes.

WOMENS DAY CELEBRATION

Due to COVID-19 Second wave spread, We took several days to prepare ourselves for conducting women’s day celebrations. We decided to call small number of our self-help group members for the celebrations. We took all precautionary methods like sanitizers, masks and social distancing.

During the celebration we insist our members to participate and learn skills for increasing their livelihood. We advised them to educate their children without fail. Most of our beneficiaries are aware of the value of education and use of skills at critical conditions like financial hardships. During the celebration, many of our beneficiaries shared their stories to others.

One of our beneficiary said “ My name is Kavitha, aging 36 years. I am from poor family. My husband worked in private company and earned hand some salary to run our family and educate our two children without difficulties.

But all of a sudden, COVID-19 lockdowns imposed in 17th March, 2020, My husband could not go to work. We some how managed, two months without salary, By May,2020 we become bankrupt. Another one month more we managed. We want to borrow money from someone, but no one is there to lend money.

In june,2020 CHHASE NGO provided us relief material which was useful to run our family for one month. During this relief distribution, CHHASE NGO staff said “ you have already learned sewing and why don’t you try to stich blouses and petty coats and earn. With their advice, I started my sewing business without any capital. For 3 months, I earned Rs.150 per day, which was moderately sufficient to run my family. Now I became known sewing businesswomen, I am earning Rs.600 per day.

I told my husband to help me in this business and next month I am going to open a shop in nearby town. Learning a skill is always beneficial and it will help us when we are in helpless condition.”

Livelihood program  

With the help of donors like you, We have are providing sewing  skills to 350 poor women to create livelihood and job placements. This training in sewing started in 1st March,2021 and will be completed on 31st May,2021 in 12 different places. As a matterof fact, sewing skill is well known as good business which always helps to earn in all seasons.

Dear Donor/ supporter !

CHHASE, our staff and our community celebrate the “ PONGAL FESTIVAL”. A festival of thanks giving. Due to COVID-19, this year it is Gloomy.

According to tradition, the festival marks the end of winter solstice, and the start of the sun's six-month-long journey northwards when the sun enters the zodiac Makara (Capricorn). The festival is named after the ceremonial "Pongal", which means "to boil, overflow" and refers to the traditional dish prepared from the new harvest of rice boiled in milk with jaggery (raw sugar). To mark the festival, the pongal sweet dish is prepared, first offered to the gods and goddesses (goddess Pongal), followed sometimes with an offering to cows, and then shared by the family. Festive celebrations include decorating cows and their horns, ritual bathing and processions. It is traditionally an occasion for decorating rice-powder based Kolam artworks, offering prayers in the home, temples, getting together with family and friends, and exchanging gifts to renew social bonds of solidarity.

Pongal is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Tamil people in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,Andhra Pradesh,Telengana and puducherry in India.It is also a major Tamil festival in Srilanka. It is observed by the Tamil diaspora worldwide, including those in Malaysia, Mauritius,South Africa, Singapore,United states,United kingdom and Canada. 

The festival's most significant practice is the preparation of the traditional "pongal" dish. It utilizes freshly harvested rice, and is prepared by boiling it in milk and raw cane sugar (jaggery). Sometimes additional ingredients are added to the sweet dish, such as: Cardamom, raisins, Green gram and cashew nuts. Other ingredients include coconut and ghee.

Bhogi Pongal

The Pongal festival begins on the day called Bhogi Pongal, and it marks the last day of the Tamil month Marghazi. On this day people discard old belongings and celebrate new possessions. The people assemble and light a bonfire in order to burn the heaps of discards. Houses are cleaned, painted and decorated to give a festive look. The horns of oxen and buffaloes are painted in villages. New clothes are worn to mark the start of the festival. The deity of the day is Indra-the god of rains, to whom prayers are offered, with thanks and hopes for plentiful rains in the year ahead.

Surya Pongal

Surya Pongal – also called Suryan Pongal or Perum Pongal – is the second and main festive day, and is dedicated to the Hindu god Surya.It is the first day of the Tamil calendar month Tai, and coincides with Makara Sankaranthi- a winter harvest festival celebrated throughout India. The day marks the start of the Uttarayana. When the sun enters the 10th house of the zodiac Makara (Capricorn). The day is celebrated with family and friends, with the Pongal dish prepared in a traditional earthen pot in an open space in the view of the sun. The pot is typically decorated by tying a turmeric plant or flower garland, and near the cooking stove are placed two or more tall fresh sugarcane stalks.

Mattu Pongal

Mattu Pongal is celebrated the day after Surya Pongal. Mattu refers to "cow, bullock, cattle", and Tamil Hindus regard cattle as sources of wealth for providing dairy products, fertilizer, transportation and agricultural aid. On Mattu Pongal, cattle are decorated – sometimes with flower garlands or painted horns, they are offered bananas, a special meal and worshipped. Some decorate their cows with manjalthanni and oil. Shikakai apply kungumam to their foreheads, paint their horns, and feed them a mixture of venn pongal, jaggery, honey, banana and other fruits. Others bathe their cattle and prostrate before them with words of thanks for the help with the harvest.

Kanum Pongal

Kanum Pongal, sometimes called the Kanu Pongal, the fourth day of the festival, marks the end of Pongal festivities for the year. The word kanum (kaanum) in this context means "to visit." Many families hold reunions on this day. Communities organize social events to strengthen mutual bonds. Villagers cut and consume farm fresh sugarcane during social gatherings. Relatives, friends and neighbour’s visit to greet, while youngsters go out to meet seniors among the relatives and neighborhoods to pay respects and seek blessings, while some elders give the visiting children some pocket change as a gift.

But with your generous support, we have overcome the difficulties and our elders are safe and healthy. You made big impact on our neglected elders lives.

Arrangement of online class

We all know and we have experienced the results of COVID-19 lockdowns. Our education program to under privileged were postponed and their schools were lock down. Apart from their education, we ensured the children safety from spreading COVID-19. With donors generous contributions and volunteers support, we arranged mobile phones and old laptop’s for our under privileged children to attend their online classes. It was a huge task. Collecting old phones and laptop’s and repairing them and distributing to children took very long time and we achieved with the help of our volunteers. Now the children education is going on without any struggle. We thank you and our volunteers for helping our children education.
