Foundation for CSR @ Redington REDINGTON CSR – CONNECT January 2020 for ALL

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year 2020! What is the key to success and happiness in life? To live life of your choice, you need to start making efforts in that direction. Hardship and suffering should not deter a person from the chosen path. No one achieves anything automatically. Besides the usual hardships there are many external factors that impact our growth. But internal qualities, are really what are required to make us successful and happy. What cannot be done out of happiness, can never be done. How often people process the problems of the coming year, the coming month, and the coming week and fail to do anything about what would have been done right now. We want to drop some habits from our life and embrace certain other things, for which the New Year becomes an opportunity for commitment. A take diversion can alter your journey but it should not stop the journey. Focus on the bigger dreams and keep going. Before embarking upon a new venture, journey or project do ask yourself the following questions: - a. Why am I doing this? b. What are the consequences? c. Will I be able to achieve 100% success? Once you have decided on moving forward with an idea after doing a lot of critical thinking, step up your preparation, keeping in mind certain guidelines to achieve success. Teachers have been the connecting thread to the wisdom passed from one generation to another. A teacher is anyone, who alters your state of mind and heart and thus your life.

Parents, as teachers, transform you from nothing to something. Mathematically zero to one is considered as infinite change. Thus parents cause transformation in you. Your friends create the environment from which you imbibe your attitudes. Trainers and coaches, groom your skills. You have to decide about your future whether you will travel by walking or on a cycle or on a motor cycle or in a car depends on the decision you make now. Not everyone gets an opportunity to explore new postures. You have got it. Go and prove your mettle there. All those who lived by their convenience are not in the history books, it is all those who lived with conviction that are part of today’s history and we read his(tory) or Hers(tory). Just focus and concentrate on what you love doing, ignore irritations and disturbances that may come your way in the life. These are just monkeys on your back. Once you win without any problem, it is just victory; but if you win in spite of all the troubles that is HISTORY. DEAR FOLKS, LETS MAKE A HISTORY. Muthukumarasamy M Managing Trustee

NUTRITION for ALL All children, including children with disabilities, have the right to get adequate nutrition, as stated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Moreover, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) highlights the duty of States Parties to prevent discriminatory denial of health services or food and fluids on the basis of disability. Nutrition and Disabilities are intimately related, and both are global development priorities. Children and the adults with disabilities do not get the same level of nutrition as the non disabled people, due to variety of reasons. One of the most important reasons is lack of awareness on the importance of nutrition for disabled. Mostly, in the underdeveloped countries and in the developing countries like India, particularly in the rural areas, the lack of awareness about the nutrition is high. Our foundation closely works with the special children through our REACH (Redington Employability Academy For Challenged) project by associating with the Special Schools around Tamil Nadu. We want to address all the needs of the PWD (Persons With Disability) wholly. We are constantly providing vocational trainings and need based services to the PWD people. Recently, we introduced a Nutrition Support Programme at Akshara Special School located at Vadamadurai, Dindigul for the special children of the school. Ms. Barbara Aro Ramya, Project Coordinator, organised the inauguration event at School on 23rd January 2020. In presence of the staff and the students of the school, our Zonal Head Mr. Balaji, The Managing Trustee of CAT Trust and Founder of Akshara Special School, Ms. Suseela, and 1

Ms.Bhuvaneswari, WASH Project, GGT Sanitation hygiene is an important factor for healthy living. Environmental sanitation and human health are closely linked. It’s imperative that the poor management of human waste leads to direct or indirect disease transmission. Most of the diseases are preventable in early stage and also avoidable through proper awareness. 3

A report says that 110 million toilets are built in whole India, which is a mark of huge achievement in a short period. But some experts also say that even after the government’s initiative to build latrine for all the houses in India, open defecation has not been eliminated in the country because of the lack of awareness about the sanitation hygiene. In order to contribute for bringing the awareness about the sanitation hygiene among the rural community, our foundation along with Gandhigram Trust organised this awareness programme. In the meeting Ms. Ramuthai explained about the purpose of the meeting and open defecation related issues, water and faecal borne diseases. Ms. Ramya, narrated the current conditions of open defecation and its consequences at the meeting.

Understanding the Special Children is a Special Task An Update About Disabilities Mr. Jeyasingh Thomas, The Principal of SCAD Special School, Tirunelveli was invited to our Smart Learning Centre located at Avvai Ashram, Sivasailam to orient our team about disabilities and special children. Mr. Jeyasingh holds a Senior Diploma in Special Education in the stream of MR (Mental Retardation) and he is associated with the special schools and special children for more than 35 years. He is also a coordinator of Special Teacher Training course and CBR (Community Based Rehabilitation) Programme. On 11th January 2020, our team got an opportunity to attend the Orientation Session on Disability and Special Children through our Resource Person Mr. Jeyasingh. Our Managing Trustee, Mr. Muthukumarasamy, Regional Head, Mr. Murugan, Zonal Heads and all the Project Coordinators gave a warm welcome to Mr. Jeyasingh. The team attended the session and acquired the information with regard to the types, causes, early identification of disabilities and the teaching methodologies for special children. He gave a brief introduction about the IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and the method of identifying the IQ level of a person. The various teaching tools and assessment methods for the special children were explained by the Resource Person. 12

He also described about the different special needs such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spasticity and Multiple Disciplinary Diseases. He provided more suggestions about the suitable vocational training for the Intellectually Challenged people and about the job opportunities & their job environment. This was very useful for our team as our foundation focus a lot on the vocational trainings and job placements for the challenged people through our REACH project. He said that, the 3A’s, “Accept” “Affection” and “Achievement” are very important to work with the Special Children. The session was extremely helpful for our team members to know a lot about special children and their needs, to work with a focus to uplift their condition and also to assess the special Schools for associating with them through our programmes. This session made us to refresh our knowledge and deepen our understanding about the special children and adults. The participants thanked the Resource Person, our Trustee and Regional Head for arranging this advantageous programme. 13

A workshop on Special Children Handling Techniques was conducted for the parents of St. Antony Special School students in Karur. The need for the workshop was unfolded when our Thanjavur Zonal Head, Ms. Indira Kannan met the DRO (District Regional Officer) of Karur for the equipment support provision to the PWD (Person With Disabilities) by our foundation. Further, on 24th January 2020, we arranged for a workshop on “Special Children Handling Techniques”, where Dr. Praveena, Psychologist served as the Resource Person. The objective of the program is to make the parents of the special children to be aware of the essential techniques to handle the children better. The technique called OWL (Observe, Wait and Listen) was introduced to the parents. The importance of observing their child’s activities and paying close attention was highlighted to them. They were also oriented to be confident and tolerant towards their child to make their world a beautiful place for them to live 14

Dark To Dawn Article By Shanmuga Vadivoo, Zonal Head, Tirunelveli Selvan Sabir Ahmad at the age of 15, joined in Dr. Soundram School for the Intellectual Disability in the year 2016. At the time of entry he couldn’t sit in a place and listen to the instructions of the teacher. He could not come to school regularly. His pronunciation was poor and he never obeyed anybody. Moreover, he could not recognize colours and coins also. The Centre first took the challenge of imparting training for the basic personal hygiene like brushing, bathing and dressing. He was taught to behave properly in public places and to count numbers & identify basic colours. On observing improvement in him he was taught tables and also to identify different coins with their values. A model outlet was set in the Centre to train him to get changes from the shop. In addition to the routine classes, he also attended the Vocational trainings provided by our foundation, such as embroidery, screen printing, spiral binding, basket. Recently, a Door Mat Weaving machine was donated by our foundation to the school. He showed a lot of interest in weaving and learned it in very short time. He has learnt all the Vocational programmes and out of these he has shown keen interest in weaving of door mat and tailoring. Now he is earning around Rs 1500 per month through his tailoring work. His parents feel so happy to note the remarkable change in his life style. They informed us that, he has joined in a medical shop near his house in the evening as a part time job and have started earning more money. They also added that, he is very helpful in purchasing the needs for his house from nearby shops and is able to obtain the balance amount after the purchase. Now his parents realise that his son is provided with a work and possess the capability to earn like normal children. They wholeheartedly expressed their thanks to Gandhigram Trust and Redington Foundation for the opportunity created to the children like Sabir Ahmed to improve their life style. We would like to be part of uplifting the conditions of many more Sabirs with the company of our associated organisations. 15

Early Intervention And Positive Outcomes Article by MS. Subha, CSR Lead – 2.0 The holistic development of a society lies in the hands of every individual and the organisation. Our foundation is setting its foot print in all the areas which requires a development. Now, in this new year, our foundation has started to focus on the Early Intervention of special needs. The main objective of this programme is to assess the areas of delay and to promote development through therapies, to sensitize parents on early intervention and to assess the development delays of children (0 to 6 years), to identify the developmental delays and provide consistent therapies (physio or speech or occupational), to reduce the disability level and to increase the pre-school going children. We have done the enough feasibility study on our own and also gathered reports from experts who are in this field. Tamil Nadu’s rural villages are very far off from district PHC (Primary Health Centre), the poverty level of families and due to the lack of guidance and remoteness, many children are left unattended for special needs. The condition of those children are really pathetic as there is no proper care. Our Early Intervention project will travel into the village & reach the needy children through a mobile unit (all equipped for doing assessment and therapies). The assessment tool developed by Amar Seva Sangam, which is an efficient digital application software, shall cover all 21 disabilities. The assessment scale is based on Trivandrum Development Screening Chart. We are planning to carryout this programme in four locations of Tamil Nadu in the beginning. Collaboration: The project is a collaborative approach where Rs. 40 Lacs for Mobile Unit shall be contributed by our Foundation and the Driver, fuel & therapist cost of Rs. 40 lacs shall be contributed by the Institution / Trust / NGOs / Corporate Foundation. 16

F BACK E FORWARD E Article By, Chandrasekaran, D Operations Head …second in series FEED BACK or FEED FORWARD - prequel summary : Experience the joy of self – discovery that leads to positive and lasting change. Well to continue, by feedback are we talking about our own short comings & being ashamed of the same. Could be right or not quite. Feedback, does that mean it is any performance evaluation, other kind of judgements, grading reviews, finding out how we measure up or let loose our duties. Or is it about proposals accepted and rejected A Big No. Then why is it a need to discover the way we see our-self and understand the variance of quite the way others see us. Because we people drive our job initiatives but did you know what drives all of us without any single exception !!! They are Glad, Sad, Scared & Mad. You have understood rightly “Emotions drive people” 17

In this background can we give a name for feedback session as “difficult conversation” or “challenging conversation” What is the challenge ? how do we give feedback skilfully & more often with positive articulation. What is the difficulty? how do we solicit feedback?, how do we listen? how do we assess? and how do the receiver integrate with the giver? We must always remember that only the receiver of feedback is in charge. Receiver will only decide what he or she is going to let in. What sense they are going to make of the subjective comment and whether & how they choose to change – at all. Commonly there are blizzard of feedbacks every one of us come across every day in our personal, professional & business lives. To process these elements we need to analyse the core of feedback such as the timeliness of the comment made, the emotion triggered as a result of this, and the context. To improve individuals and organisational learning we must focus on teaching people how to give feedback. We need to make our colleagues realize they may have been thinking about the problem that they encounter the wrong way. To improve learning in our organisation the SMART way is on figuring out how to receive feedback even if they are poorly delivered, nevertheless, use it to fuel growth. 18

How to make SMART feedback?  S Specific and simple mention about source of information so that the receiver embraces it as a valuable tool for change.  M Measure your words before sowing those dreaded seeds that would either make or mar your important relationships  A Allow not your emotions run high and strain relationship and performance. (Neither yours nor other’s)  R Realistic reference to context need to be given to the receiver  T Timeliness of your parenting tip or words of wisdom from the pedestal of Guru is essential. Feedback is our relationship with the world around us and the world’s relationship with us!!! Feedback is like a story telling. The story we tell about the feedback we get has a huge impact on how we feel about it. But for high achievers and for those who truly want to enhance success, it is only their own self -realisation. 50%Our reactions to events & happenings of life are generally about genetic, inherited and wiring factors. It is just the way we are built - Emotionally energetic. 20 19

40%About is based on the story being narrated about what happened or what would happen. 10%Only are based on actual circumstances of our lives. Psychologists and social workers must be able to comprehend this. Let me pick the wiring factors. They are the baseline of our past lives and the way we have lived. Our societal background and we have experienced the degree of happiness or contentment in our lives. The second set of group are always discontent, restless and always see the glass half empty. Those of us who live at a lower set point get affected by the way we take in challenging comments & participate unwillingly in difficult conversations. Then comes our mood swings. How often we oscillate rapidly from one point to other point. The third factor is the sustenance and recovery. Certainly within our work team we are all giving and receiving feedback to each other. All of us are from same team and suppose we receive feedback for the sake of it. Does that help us. Certainly not. We must attempt to understand our profile can help you understand your own reaction. Both ways there are challenges from either end of the spectrum. Humble submission is please do not be dismissive of feedbacks. Be conscious of yourself when you sit in the feedback sessions. Normally how do we see our self - *Efficient *Outgoing *Smart *Passionate, *high standards. How do the other person on the other side of the bank see us *aloof, *unfriendly, *intimidating, *Impatient, *Elitist & overbearing. Now all these are lessons to my own self as a leader (I strongly believe so). Hence, I am not going to ask people do you have any feedback about what you think about me. Ney. Bad Idea. 20

Certainly I would ask this. There are two major junctions where the core of our human needs sit in What is the one thing you see me the journey of our life … doing or failing to do that is getting in my way?  The need to learn and grow! And that is why people like us take What is the one thing that I could up jobs after or at the time of change when I run a weekly meeting retirement like some of them that you think would be an take up games, music, public improvement? speaking, yoga, counselling as hobbies What is the one think that I can change that would make a difference  The need to be accepted and to you in our relationship of respected and love the way we professional friendship. are now! Please notice that I am not asking is Whether we like it or not, reality is there anything. Suppose I ask like ‘people around us want something that then I am assuming. I am more from us, some more upgrades asking something which I do not to what we are. know. Something about a ‘blind spot’ which is not visible at all to me. Sometimes feedbacks are I would only request any one and exhilarating & most of the time it is every one to get something specific, something which is worth considering painful. All said and done many of us and discussing and that would bring about real change. would agree that good things to us 21

have only and only from painful experiences. A good wish is about learning to understand, process and manage the pain, to enrich our relationship and get to the learning curve faster. Concluding with a note that let us all treat each of us as individuals who could learn, we are all adults, we all share right information at the right time, from the right people, who could make good informed decisions for themselves and the company and take responsibility for their own behaviour. Let us all own the magic wand - feedback (rather feedforward) and commence newly creating the next project, the next device, the next idea that would change our world. Please do free up your feedbacks. I await yours… 22

ABLE THE DISABLED as they are DIFFERENTLY ABLED Article By, Sabina Seelan, Project Coordinator, Madurai I have been serving as Project coordinator in Redington Foundation for the past 4 years towards the Employability of the normal youth, now it has paved me a way and provided an opportunity to look into the needs of the DISABLED, also called as CHALLENGED or DIFFERENTLY ABLED people in this 2020. Though I have been keenly observing and reading to know about these special children, the Orientation for REACH program held in Sivasailam in the month of January was an eye opener for me to step forward firmly for these challenged. The Children with disabilities (CWD) may have born with psychiatric problems, terminal illness, profound cognitive impairment or syndrome. They struggle with learning disabilities; food allergies, panic attacks or developmental delays. The challenges may be severe that could possibly last for life time. They are really in need of extra support and additional services. They may have distinct goals, and needed extra guidance to facilitate them to meet the social, academic, emotional, and even medical milestones. These children with disabilities may need lifetime guidance and support to deal with every day issues such as housing, social involvement, employment and finances. Early intervention is an important step to facilitate the child to fulfil academic, social and emotional potential. Families with disabled children are on a lifetime challenging journey both financially and emotionally. And so the disabled children experience a myriad of emotions which includes anger, grief, loss and denial. Patience is the only way as these emotions are natural part of the process. What is the state of Children with Disabilities in India?  There are about 78,64,636 children with disabilities in India, which is 1.7 percent of the child population in India. 23

 Three fourths of these children with disabilities within five years and one fourth of the children between 5 to 19 years do not go to any educational institutions.  As their age increases the percentage of schooling of these disabled children decreases.  Only 61 percent of the disabled children within the age of 5-19 are attending school.  27 percent of the disabled children never attended any education.  The number of girls with disabilities is fewer than boys  Major number of children with disabilities do not go to regular schools but are enrolled with NIOS (National Institute of Open schooling).  Major group of Disabled children with learning disabilities are enrolling in NIOS ,.  There has been a drop in the enrolling of locomotor and visual impairment students in NIOS.  A lower percentage of children with multiple disabilities, mental illness and retardation are enrolling in NIOS. While this is the current situation of the Children with disabilities, the report of UNESCO 2019 recommends to expand the use of Information Technology for these disabled children. More than 2500 special schools are in India which includes Government, NGO and other organisations which supports the special children in education. The learning needs of children with disabilities cannot be met in a regular class room. The special schools offer wide range of services and approaches to meet this goal. They may offer  Individualized education  Small classes  Low teacher-to-student ratios  Specially trained teachers  Self-contained classrooms  Resource rooms 24

 Tutoring programs  Academic and psychological counseling  Learning aids As a socially responsible organisation, how can we empower the disabled? Let us play a proactive role of key driver of the society in offering the necessary opportunities and empowering this nascent group. The disabled have to be empowered. as the potential of the disabled is not properly utilized and yet didn’t push them to the mainstream. They can also contribute for the development of the society. It is not possible to support in employment to the entire disabled, but we can impart the necessary vocational training and motivate them to become self-sufficient. Our foundation acts as a vital organ of the civil society creating a congenial climate where the disabled can lead a healthy life like the normal people in the society. The paucity of facilities and professional availability in Government sectors has widened the treatment gap in this disabled people. Many service organisations, special schools are playing a significant role in bridging the gap through their activities like treatment, community care, awareness, rehabilitation, research, training, capacity building and lobbying. We can extend our wings for these disabled by providing the appropriate support and facilitate them in the following ways. Treatment: care and rehabilitation Community-based activities and prevention Research and training Advocacy and empowerment Disability is not an obstacle to success. – Stephen Hawking 25

Bharatkumar is a para swimming world champion born with right hand only. Sudha Chandran is a renowned Indian Classical dancer with left leg amputated after an accident Arunima Sinha is the first Indian amputee conquered Mount Everest . Abishek Bachan, who was dyslexic in childhood who attended special school, has now become a classic actor. Tom Cruise who was severely dyslexic in grade school, now a hollywood star nominated for Academy awards and won the Golden Globe wards Albert Einstein, who was severely dyslexic and autistic in 27 his childhood, did not speak till the age of 3, fought his disability, entered into theoretical physics, relativity theory which is revolutionary theory, won the Nobel prize. Let us give a chance to every child and leave no child with disability. Let them forget the feeling of disabled. Let them become legendary actors, politicians, artists, musicians, athletes and writers.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted
