In each of our crèches there are babies in the cradles. Our ayah used to sing lullabies to the crying children. Other big and small children used to watch this. One of our student Shivani was asked by her mother to look after her sleeping brother in the cradle. The mother had asked her to sway the cradle of the baby cries. Once the baby got wake up he started to cry. Shivani started to sway the cradle with the song, “Kannan Engal Kannanam” which she learnt it at the crèche while the ayah was singing for the crying babies. Shivani’s father came back from the office at that time and heard her singing, felt very happy at her quick response to her brother’s crying. He asked her who taught her the song and praised her for her sweet voice. He immediately proclaimed that after hearing this religious lullaby they will not listen to cinema songs. The parents came for the parents meeting and narrated this incident in front of all the parents. All were very pleased.
2. C. JAYANTHI, PUTHALAM, KANYAKUMARI DISTRICT ::
One day one student left the eating place in a hurry without washing his plate well. Suguna came next and washed her plate and kept it in the rack saw that previous boy did not wash it clean so took his plate and washed it very well. I was touched by her action which was done without being told by others.
One person came to admit his child for the coming year. I asked him to come on June 1st with his child and then I asked his whereabouts. When he said the name of the place, immediately I told him it is a faraway place and how he is going to bring the child. Immediately he said this was what I told my wife and asked to get admission from the nearby V.E.R.S. Matric school. But my wife told me that she wanted her child to have a year at least at Vivekananda Kendra Balwadi because she studied as a child in the same school with the same teacher at least for a year she wants her child to attend this school. The teachers here treat the children very kind and they teach them with full attention. So my wife requested that we should bring the child here in whatever way we can, so they both agree to bring the child here anyhow. This incident touched my heart because the mother’s anxiety for her child to get the same love and culture from Kendra school. I felt like applauding Vinitha the mother for her forethought.
4. C. SASIKALA, P. RAJESWARI – PUDUGRAMAM, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT ::
At Pudugramam crèche, there were holes, hollows and unleveled floor. We asked one of our old student, brother Saravana kumar to help us to level the floor. He was one of our kind, helpful and pious devotee of Kendra. He gave us cement and sand immediately. Since he could not spare the time we asked one of our old student, N. Suresh to level the floor. Without any hesitation, he took a day off from his work and leveled our floor in the proper way. Not only have that he also did a good job in our front yard of the school where water was stagnant always. Their help was very useful and made us happy.
5. Ms. MARAGATHAM, KOOTTAMPULI, THOOTHUKUDI DISTRICT ::
Near our crèche there is a one and half year child named, Kasthuri. Her parents told us that we will leave her at your crèche next year. But as we start our morning prayer she will open her home door and will enter our school and will sit on the bench and will start to sing. Her parents told us that without their knowledge, when she hears our prayer Kasthuri will start saying ‘OM, OM’ and run to the school. She was so attracted by the music. This touched my heart.
