Kerala floods were one of the worst natural calamities, which India witnessed in this century leaving hundreds of the Kerallites homeless and jobless. Under this juncture, Helping Brainz a Delhi based no-to profit organization aims in conducting a series of skill-set development workshops of the underpriviledged and flood affected people from Kerala.

Today’s workshop aimed in educating the underpriviledged women from the flood affected regions of Annamanada (a southern town in Thrissur district, on the banks of the Chalakudy river) the art of creative-crafts making from used materials.

Majority of the women, whom we addressed today witnessed the most scariest moments during the Kerala floods, a moment where they saw all their investments being taken away in the blink of an eye.

The workshop was led by Mini Sajan (an IT Test Manager at SmartCity, Kochi), where around 40+ women participated.

The programme was orchestrated by Helping Brainz Kerala Team in association with Annamanada Grama Panchayat. The people who volunteered for the successful happening of the event were Shibu Aravindakashan, Sindhu Shibu, Nidhi P.Menon, Vyshnavy S., Rahul Ramesh and Ajay Krishnan.

This was our maiden event in scope of rebuilding Kerala and we’re overwhelmed to see the wholehearted participation from everyone who participated in the event, especially those who attended the event to learn a way of earning, as many of them are still housed in the Panchayat offices as they lost their houses during the floods.

In the coming days, Helping Brainz in Kerala will be conducting similar kind of workshops for the flood affected beings, thereby making them able to enough to start a way of earning.

#MatterOfInspiration
Helping Brainz didn’t have a team in Aurangabad, and we just had Gopikaa Didi working for Helping Brainz from Aurangabad. When Helping Brainz started collating the flood relief materials, we contacted Gopikaa Didi who works as a webdesigner and educationist in Tender Care Home Aurangabad and shared an idea. She spoke to the mentor/Director of her school Mrs. Shailaja Kekre and she made children realize the situation in kerala which also made the children socially aware and responsible from school days Itself.

The followup and hardwork of making the children socially aware was all done by the Mentor/Director Mrs. Shailaja Kekre mam. Tender care students , Sahajayiga Meditation Aurangabad and Vaidya Academy collated school stationaries and pulses.

Taking inspiration from them other institutions also started supporting and thereby youngsters started volunteering for Helping Brainz, and today we have a team theThanks to the wonderful work done by Vaidya Academy, Sahajayoga Meditation Centre Aurangabad and Principal Madam Mrs. Sheet Kekre, Director; Mrs. Shailaja Kekre and Staff OF Tender Home Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Gopikaa Vaidya, Vishal Thore, Shashank Saraswat, Sagar Maali, Shrikant Kulkarni, Prathamesh Tapadiya Vijay Prajapati and Kabir Kulkarni.
