A camp was organized for the beneficiaries of the MIRACLE project from September 3 to 6, 2022, as part of the grand Onam Festival Celebration at Trivandrum Don Bosco Veedu. Onam celebration was held on the final day and inaugurated by Mr. Antony Boban (Stakeholder, MIRACLE). Fr. Jiji Kalavanal (Rector and Manager, Trivandrum Don Bosco), Fr. Sebastian (Board Member) and Fr. Saji Elambasseril (Director, Trivandrum Don Bosco) blessed the celebration with their presence.
In the first two days, the children engaged in various educational sessions on effective ways to study better, health and hygiene, and the importance of time management. Festive wear (Ona Pudava) was also distributed among the children. The final day celebration was made attractive with fascinating music and dance performances by the children. A grand lunch, “Ona Sadhya”, was arranged, making the experience rich. The celebrations concluded with Onam games and prize distribution to the winners, which boosted the competitive spirit of the children, and made the experience unforgettable.
MIRACLE is a project that provides educational assistance and skill training to children deprived of primary caregivers to promote kinship foster care. ARAVAM gave the children an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy Onam.
