CONTRIBUTE to Gnana Deepam Trust, EASILY!

We have been active for the past 4 years but we have always collected the money for all the events during or just prior to the event. The main reason for this was the fact that our Gnana Deepam Trust account was in Dindigul & it was not logistically viable to take the money or disburse funds to the required places. Now we have activated the "INTERNET BANKING" in our trust account. This enables us all to contribute funds from the comfort of our home!

We request you to make a monthly contribution of Rs 200 or more towards the trust account. The monthly account statements will be mailed by 15th - 18th of every month.

Deepavalhi For All - 2012

We are happy to inform you all that our event “DEEPAVALHI FOR ALL” was immensely successful. Thanks to all your wishes & contributions. We are humbly proud to say that this is the third consecutive year in which we successfully conducted the event.

In the year 2010, we conducted it only in Tiruchchirapalli. In 2011, it was conducted in Tiruchchirapalli & Chennai but this year we are extremely happy to have conducted the event in Tiruchchirapalli, Chennai, Salem & Dindigul. Apart from the above mentioned four places, we tried to conduct the event in Namakkal also. Due to the lack of funds & inadequacy of human resources in the area, we were not able to coordinate the event in Namakkal. However, we are making every effort possible to make the Namakkal cell active & our Regional Director – Namakkal, Mr.Selva Kumar is working his best to make it better.

This year, in Tiruchchirapalli, we provided lunch, distriubuted sweets & snacks in the following places

• Krishna Home – a home for unprivileged kids & old age home.
• Gangaru Trust – a home for mentally ill.
• Vidivelli Home – a home for disowned children.
• Puthur Government blind school.
• Holy Family – a home for HIV affected kids.

In Chennai, we distributed sweets & crackers for

• Arumbugal Aalayam
• Siru Malargal

Apart from that we also provided non-vegetarian lunch & monthly provision for the children at SIRU MALARGAL home.

In Dindigul, we provided lunch for the kids at ANBAGAM, a home for HIV affected kids. We also conducted competitions for them and gave away prizes & gifts.

In Salem, we distributed sweets & snacks to the kids at Don Bosco home.

We thank all the volunteers who joined and made the event possible & all the kind hearts who were able to send in their contributions of donations or crackers or food materials for the un/undeprivileged kids.

We are also happy to inform that we have confirmed our SPARK 2013 & more details about the same will be updated soon. We request you all to lend us your noble support for our future events & make them successful like DEEPAVALHI FOR ALL!

Thank YOU, Once again.

Deepavalhi 2012

Hi everybody, My name is Kalpana. I am 11 years old & I will become an engineer in the future. I want to invite you all to Arumbugal Aalayam, my home for this Deepavalhi. We are a huge family of 50 members in Chromepet, Chennai and we are going to celebrate Deepavalhi on November 13^th with our friends from Gnana Deepam Trust. Last year, they came to our home for Deepavalhi and we all happily celebrated it by having sweets, special foods and by bursting crackers & by lighting, my personal favourite, FANCY FIREWORKS! We all had a great Deepavalhi last year & this year they are coming with more friends to celebrate Deepavalhi with us.

This year we all with our friends from Gnana Deepam Trust will have special foods, snacks & SWEETS! What is a festival without SWEETS? Moreover we will light fireworks including firepots, SPARKles and much more. We will also burst loud crackers like Laxmi vedi, Double shots & the big loud ATOM BOMBS! After all crackers are really good if they are not going to hurt others in anyway. I am sure my friends will take care of us all and we will have a safe Deepavalhi, just like last year!

Husshh... That is not all... This year they are also going to conduct a surprise game for us and give us all some SPECIAL gifts. (Don't say it loud... Only I know this. We are going to surprise my whole family!)

Wait... Wait... Wait... Allow me to introduce Ratna, my friend from SIRU MALARGAL. 

Siru Malargal is also a big home of 45 people situated in Athur of Chengalpet. My friends from Gnana Deepam are also going to celebrate Deepavalhi with them. Since all my friends in Siru Malargal are going out on Deepavalhi, they are going to celebrate it on November 4^th. Yes, this Sunday itself.

All my friends in Siru Malargal are going to have NON-VEGETARIAN food & sweets this Sunday! Apart from that they will also have the crackers & fireworks. Moreover they need a bell to wake up all the children in the morning & to make themselves ready for school in time. Of course the surprise game & the special gifts are there for them too...

So help my friends in Gnana Deepam Trust to collect the money that they need!
