Viveka celebrated its 10th anniversary on April 2015 with a fund rising dinner. It was well attended with over a hundred guests, including volunteers, their families and invitees. Three prominent individuals from within the social sector in Bangalore and friends of Viveka, were felicitated for their contribution to society at the event. Nandana Reddy, Founder and Director Development, from ‘The Concern for Working Children’, Dr Ashok Rau, Founder of ‘Freedom Foundation’ and Gurmeet Singh Randhawa, Managing Trustee of ‘Bangalore Hospice Trust – Karunashraya’, were felicitated at the event. Partially visually impaired stand-up comedian Sundeep Rao, entertained the gathering.
We held an Open House in November 2015, for children with special needs, where the children, their caregivers, and teachers from the field were invited to participate and share their experiences. We have conducted Programmes on Suicide Prevention in educational institutions and Adoption Workshops, as well as facilitated an Adoption Support Group.
The Viveka Trust is a voluntary organisation dedicated to promoting and sustaining a mentally and emotionally healthy society.
