Each year, the children have a unique chance to exhibit their talents and acquired knowledge on a grand stage through a theatrical presentation. Collaborating with seasoned artists specializing in theatre, dance, art, and music, the children invest six months to craft their annual performance. This platform not only showcases their abilities but also serves as an avenue to delve into societal issues, fostering awareness among the audience. Exploring themes like alcoholism, domestic violence, climate change, and child rights, these productions seek to engage and enlighten spectators on crucial social topics.

Throughout the extensive grassroots work, the organisation encountered a consistent desire among people to enhance their spoken English skills. To facilitate this, the organisation collaborated with Community Radio stations, broadcasting daily spoken English tutorials. These lessons aim to furnish listeners with everyday conversations, enabling practice and proficiency within their homes or workplaces. This content is tailored to offer straightforward, commonly used, and contextually relevant dialogues, ensuring purposeful and enduring learning experiences.

This programme focuses on 50 adolescents, aged 11 to 18, emphasizing academic success, extracurricular engagement, sports, mental health well-being, and leadership development. Conducted evenings from Monday to Sunday at the community centre, the team members actively engage with families to create positive changes in the home environment.

The community centre is a safe space for women, providing mental health services to 30 women through the "Penn (Woman) Power" program. This program teaches self- and relationship-management skills. The centre also offers vocational training, interpersonal communication skills, and personal development opportunities to 108 young girls and women in communities across Chennai, including Chetpet, Choolaimedu, Egmore, and Kilpauk. The women will receive three months of training in tailoring skills and the use of machines at the center.

We are embarking on an ambitious journey to initiate a football program, setting our sights on the long-term vision of developing an outstanding women's football team. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to provide all students with access to extensive fitness and sports programs. Our goal is to foster a culture of physical excellence and sportsmanship, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive in their athletic pursuits and beyond.

We offer spoken English classes for students in grades 9 through 12, alongside communication and career development programs tailored for college students across various districts of Chennai. These initiatives are designed to enhance linguistic skills and professional competencies, equipping young individuals with the tools necessary for academic and career success in a globalized world. Through these programs, we aim to bridge the gap between educational achievement and professional aspirations, fostering a generation of confident and articulate individuals ready to navigate the challenges of the future.

We form and mobilize a team from the Chetpet community, aiming to enhance their social awareness so that they can, in turn, raise awareness within their community and contribute to its development. By imparting knowledge to them, we enable these individuals to become agents of awareness, spreading valuable information and fostering positive change throughout their community.
