Anandan Selling Snehan Bags – at Jawahar Bala Bhavan Exhibition

On 16th of October 2021, kanthari provided us a place in the heart of the city to demonstrate my learned social business skills. 27 participants from different countries and states participated with unique ideas and products. This day was a bit unfortunate for all the kanthari participants because many parts of Kerala had heavy and continual rain. The exhibition stalls were underwater, at Jawahar Bala Bhavan, in Trivandrum. Since Snehan motive was on promoting organization social venture; Anumuthu did not stop putting up Snehan organization stall. With the help of two volunteers named Mr.Ananthan and Ms.Haritha, Anumuthu put up the stall. Anumuthu kept 2 of 3/5 feet banner and 8 A3 posters, which gave a full outline of Snehan organization and the humble work that he does at Pondicherry.

In the stall, Anumuthu kept the eco-friendly cotton products that are made by Snehan beneficiaries. The visitor’s presence was not as expected but whoever passed Snehan stall, Anumuthu pitched about Snehan activities and how it brings value in the lives of deprived people. Also he talked about the environment, how Snehan cotton product promotes and supports the environments for the future generation.  Snehan had around 200 visitors, Snehan messages were passed to them in all possible manner. We got one link person called Mr. Mathew Jacobs, who gave his suggestion to get linked for volunteers across India. They are available on request through a platform called ConnectFor (www.connectfor.org). Overall it was a productive day for our organization.
