Happy to share this Joyous moment

Happiness is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
- Helen Keller

We believe you are reading this because both of us believe in these words uttered by Helen Keller.

At Vidial, we are trying our best to move in a direction which is worthy of its purpose. A direction, we hope which might bring dawn to at least few people, if not many.

We are extremely, happy, elated and proud to say that four of the persons whom Vidial has supported got jobs.

Rajesh, from Chennai, who completed his Diploma this year, has got a job in Ashok Leyland. We have been supporting Rajesh for the past 2 years. One of our Vidial member’s friend Ms. Joy introduced Rajesh to us. He plans save some of his earnings and use it for his future Studies.

Suresh, from Rajapalayam, who completed his Bachelors in Veterinary Science last year, was preparing for Civil Services and TNPSC exams. He gave his best and is waiting for the results. He considered it wise to use this waiting period purposefully and has joined Arokaya Dairy farms, Thuraiyur, Trichy district. Though he is working, he is continuing to prepare for his civil service exams and is determined to crack it. Jeeva, Suresh’s college senior, bought to our notice that Suresh required help in late 2006. Being the eldest son of the family, it was extremely important for Suresh to complete his education and to take care of his mother and two younger brothers. We decided it is extremely vital to support him and started our association with him in 2006 and supported him till he completed his college.

Jayalakshmi, from Coimbatore, a very hard working and enthusiastic girl with a never-say-die attitude was bought to our attention by a friend of one of our members. She is one of those persons who plans and thinks about the future despite the hardships currently faced in life. Though she was not able to continue her education after 12th due to financial constraints, she was determined to move on. At the point of time when we came to know about her, she was working in a factory and was eager to learn tools such as DTP and Tally to take up a reasonable clerical post. Vidial helped her to finish her DTP course. She started this course with right earnest and completed in quick time. After that she wished to learn Tally, which she thought will give her an edge to secure a clerical post. Since she was already working, we encouraged her to manage it with her own savings and her known sources, which she successfully did. Now she is working in a clerical position in an automobile firm in Coimbatore.

Suganthapriya, from Coimbatore, had just joined B.Com when we came to know about her. Suganthapriya’s mother, the sole bread winner of the family, was doing odd jobs here and there to run the family afloat. We thought that it was appropriate that we support her. Members from our college chapter used to have constant touch with her and we supported her till she completed her Under Graduation this year. She has now got a job in a computer firm in Coimbatore.

It would not be fair on our part to say that we mentored these people and were with them all the way long during their journey, but we are proud to be associated and contributing a little for these persons, who have worked the hard way around to start a journey that will bring stability and prosperity to them and their family.

We congratulate them for their persistent hard work and wish them success in their life.

We also thank everyone who have Vidial in all possible ways, be it physically, emotionally or financially. Though you may not have been involved directly with these aspirants, certainly your contribution is one of the reasons for beautiful and joyous moment.
