It was one fine day in October'06, there was a call from the founder seeking my help!
he asked me to come to Office of Sub Registrar, Punjagutta, Hyderabad for being a
witness to a document. As I was just very nearby, I happily met him at the Office of
Sub Registrar. Then only I realized the fact that I added my signature to abhaya
Foundation's trust deed where founder was the settler. That is how, I became part of
abhaya Story.
Over the years, I am proud to be associated and helping hand in... abhaya Hunt the
Winter, Flood Relief, Orphan Care, Mission 1000, Propagation & Awareness Programs,
Thanks Giving Events, seeking/ getting corporate support and now serving abhaya
Home as its Management Committee member with my might. I thank abhaya for
giving me an opportunity to be part of the “ “Missions”. All that I did may not be even
a drop of the ocean... but, I am happy to be one such drop in the service of needy with
abhaya at my side.
Now, I realized that GOD has given me such a wonderful Life. Though he gave
problems... he granted me courage to face the issues as well. HOPE that, days will
change for better... HOPE that, I can make it big in Life... so is my association with
abhaya and its Mission to Serve with H.E.A.R.T
Dear Friends, Life is not all about making money, being successful in career. Life is
bigger picture. It is our duty to give back to the society in every possible way. Life is
about being content in life, being happy and Nothing gives you more Happiness,
when u are the reason behind someone’s SMILE/ Reason of HOPE.
Most of you are already doing great work by being with abhaya in every possible way.
Still I appeal all of you, to spread the cause of abhaya and give your support more
actively. “LET US BE A REASON BEHIND SOMEONE’S SMILE / REASON OF HOPE”.
Dear abhayans!
It is almost a decade now since I am associated with Abhaya. IIn our break time, the Founder used to tell me about thefirst got know about abhaya when I Joined Surana Group,miseries of people, who have come to him for some help. SomeHyderabad in 2003-04. I was working as Asst. Companyof the stories were so emotional, that it had shook my heart, asSecretary reporting to the Founder, CS. Balachandra Sunku,in most of these stories, people had lost HOPE for a betterthe then Company Secretary of Surana Group. I may havefuture. It was probably those experiences with which hejoined Surana, with only one thing in my mind, I need to learnfounded abhaya Foundation in the year 2006. But, by that timemy work and come out as a matured CS professional. As withI moved out of Surana and associated with PS Rao & Associates,any other budding professional, I focused, all my efforts, timeHyderabad...and thinking in learning and gaining work and related aspects.

abhaya Home of Happiness
As part of abhaya Home - Empowering Youth: a 2 day Training on "Leadership with Community Work" was
organized by abhaya Team. about 25 Volunteers from Cognizant Technologies, abhaya Foundation, couple
of Trustees took part in the 2 days training at abhaya Home Of Happiness, Ibrahimpatnem, Hyderabad.
I am delighted to attend the workshop on 3rd and 4th may 2014 on a topic “Leadership with community
work”. The workshop was ingenious as it embeds intellectuals like Manikanta of cognizant outreach team
and the founder of Abhaya foundation, and many others from cognizant outreach team.
All the Volunteers reached abhaya Home of Happiness 3rd May 2014 by
6PM and there was a brief introductory session to know each other. We had
a prayer. Then we all followed the founder to listen to him about the
campus while visiting each block. He took us to the abhaya Vijaya
Sthupa... it contains the 5 religious symbols of the world, abhaya vision
and mission. We all had a fair idea about the work and mission of abhaya
post seeing it. Then the founder took us to ABHAYA Hrudayam and started
explaining us about how the idea of abhaya Home of Happiness has come,
the reason, people, logos etc., packed with real time divine experiences
which filled my eyes with tears of joy for the Divya Sankalpa. We all were
introduced to thefirst inmates of abhaya Home and also informed the team that they are the ones who will feeding us for 2 days.
All the Volunteers got up at 5:00 AM and went to ground in beside Stoopam and under guidance of a cognizant
outreach team member we all did Surya
Namskaras & Yoga. After this activity. we all had a
brief meditation session. We further went for a
morning walk in the serene atmosphere and then
walked around the campus by observing the
organic farming of vegetables. Everything
necessary for the workshop was arranged in
abhaya Hrudayam Block and we all met there at
around 10AM for the Training Session.

achievement....as I visited it for the second
time, I really don't know much about the
activities of Abhaya. I am not getting the
words as to what should I write about the
Sunday Workshop. But, whatever I saw
over there... it is a great work that Abhaya
is doing, providing help to the needy and
poor people. Sharing Knowledge, giving
sessions , information and conducting
seminars for personality development,
During the Training Session, what I saw is an achievement
for me as CTS Team was sharing their knowledge with
volunteers. I got confidence and I learnt so many thing
regarding WHAT,WHEN,WHO,WHERE, How to develop
confidence in our-self. and 1st time I attended Founder

many things to us as to how to give light to the needy people

A seminar about "Leadership with Community Work''
was planned for the day for all of us who included people
from all age groups which were students, working and
retired people. Never have I come across a seminar
which was addressed to this vast range of people in
terms of age groups.
A big thanks and heartfelt

are doing. They are truly doing
justice to the mission of serving
with HEART and making people

cheers for Abhaya! - Ishwarya,
Inter Student doing Project
work on Social Work
Feedback from participants: Firstly, I want to appreciate the excellent infrastructure of abhaya home. I was
astonished by seeing heart gleaming dining hall, rooms etc., The environment
was quiet pleasant & everything is heart touching. During the Training
Session, I found an answer for my question as to why we need to do service?
as I used to think that it is only for the self satisfaction. But by listening the
reason I have decided to really deserve it.
Mani brother session was nice. Rarely I will waste my time whenever I feel
bore to read but after listening to him I have decided to maintain a chart for
the reasons, to questions like goal, why, what, when and how. I would paste it
in front of my bed so that by seeing it i can reduce that bloody habit & it
eventually the chart would reflect the dialogue " Learning is eternal and Live
as if you are dyeing tomorrow.”
Final touch that Founder has given in the session was
excellent. He is the person with great maneuver explaining
the things with simple abbreviations, filling the complicated
verses inn meaningful expansions and the rhythmic lines
that he often uses will bring lots of fire & they uplift energy
levels in listeners. Though the meeting mainly concerns
about volunteers most of the points would applicable for our
studies & more over those rules will be very much useful for
us as we are forthcoming volunteers of abhaya. - K
Sailatha, I MBBS, Anantapur
Thank you so much for your love and affection as usual abhaya TEAM. We are
overwhelmed with the divinity and determination. Frankly speaking, we were
not satisfied with the sessions and for that reason, I thought of meeting you and
discuss. Need to understand the Volunteers are same irrespective of their
status... it is always matter of making a difference. Not all can be like Founder,
who dedicate their entire life for society. We all can support like that of squirrel
that helped Rama while he was trying to make a bridge over see. Only thing is
that we need to provide for the right opportunity for the right
people on right time by connecting right needy.
In fact all human beings doesn't believe in GOD which
doesn't meant he is there or not... it is matter view. All this
are all my views and my team may have mixed feelings. We
don't want to leave, as we feel abhaya also our family and its
responsibility to tune our selves. - K Manikantan, CTS

She got operated during 3rd week of May'14. She is being discharged on 27th
May'14 from Hospital. Doctors advised the family members to carefully look after
her as there is a need for rehabilitation post surgery which is very important for her
to walk on her own. They also hinted that Nazia is in need of at least one more
surgery during next couple of months once she recovers from the present surgery.
Family members could further
pool Rs.30,000/- from the kind
hearted friends and relatives in
small denomination. abhaya
added Rs.20,000/- to the pool and
the balance payment is being done
to the Hospital for the surgery.

process of mobilizing support in terms of Money, Material, Moral for
the poor man. - Shubh Raj Singh, (AIS) Volunteer, Hyderabad
I spoke to Dr.Suresh regarding Mr.Balingaiah and he promised to

Mission Swathi:Grape seed Extract Kills 76% of Leukemia Cancer Cells in 24 Hours. new study conducted at the
University of Kentucky in the United States, and published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research,
found that leukemia cancer cells exposed to grape seed extract (GSE) were rapidly killed through a
process of cell suicide known as "apoptosis." In these laboratory studies, an astonishing 76% of
leukemia cells committed suicide within 24 hours. By god and our foundation grace we are happy.
Swathi is now good in condition. she maintaining her diet regularly .Recently we added one more herb

On 2nd June 2014, she is going to take Injuctional Chemotherapy, cost of it is Rs.18500/- .So please
help in the said regard. - M.Venkateshwarlu, Asst Professor, TKR College, Hyderabad

Her further treatment is on June 2nd. For that treatment he require about Rs.18500/-. He can able to pool up to
Rs.8000/-. He require further Rs.10000 from abhaya. I am confident that I can collect those Rs.10000/- from my

Mission Shaziad...it is a different update:With best wishes of abhayans all over the world, Master Shaziad got his
Cochlear Implant Surgery done with the support of funds received from
PM/CM Relief fund during the last month. Whatever the family could pool
to the tune of Rs.70,000/- became a blessing for them for post
operation.
The most inspiring thing happened thereafter... when the family heard
about the plight of Nazia Begum through Volunteer Farid, they readily
parted Rs.10,000/- towards Mission Nazia without a second thought.
This is an unexpected gesture from such a poor family. When enquired as
to whether it was a botheration? they replied that Allah is merciful in
lending HIS Divine Hands to their little child...
hence, they must act like real family members
of Allah. So saying they handed over
Rs.10,000/- for the benefit of Nazia Begum
and her 1st surgery was done successfully.
Thanks to Shaziad and his family members...
also Farid for motivating them to do their bit. -

: Rajinikanth is the name and He did his B.Sc.(Audiology and
Speech Theraphy) from Sweekar and worked there for one year to repay his fee. He is now doing MSc in same field from
Helen Keller's Institute. Its two years course and the fee is about 2,65,000/-. He tried for Bank Loan and they are
asking for surety. He paid Rs.64,000/- for his first semester by taking hand loans from relatives and clueless for rest of
the amount. I spoke to him in brief and asked him to send his fee details and receipts, also the experience given by
Sweekar. He is working in a part time job and earning 6K per month. His father was a RMP practitioner and met with an
accident 7 month ago. As of now, Rajinikanth is the only bread winner. His mother is staying here with him and father is
also planning to shift here and search for a job. I feel if we have any contact in Helen Keller and can get some discount
or if we can do any help related to Education Loan, it will help him. These are my thoughts. - KSV Sivakrishna,
Trustee, abhaya
(They felt humiliated: abhaya Founder called the Director of College,
She readily gave Rs.15,000/- further discount. Rajinikanth was
called to attend interview at abhaya along with his parents. Founder
also accompanied him to SBI for possible loan for studies. Banker
informed that due to his poor score, he may not be able to get loan. He
further briefed about the ways and means of leading a life and
assured him about abhaya's support of Rs.40k and asked him to get
Rs.20k for the arrears. Also spoke to the friend who referred him to
abhaya and tried to guide him in a right way. All that was not being
taken in a positive way. They all felt humiliated and gave a negative
feedback and returned.)

Sevalayam' is a hostel dedicated by Mahatma Gandhi
in 1938 in Madurai, Tamil Nadu under the ages of
Harijana Sevak Sangh an NGO (they have about 30
such hostels in TN). In this hostel, Children from the
very poor families of remote, rural areas stay and
study from VI to X Standard in the nearby Corporation
school. There are nearly 150 students - only boys.
NGO do not have any funds these days and What the
Hostel receives from the Govt. for the welfare of the
above students is about Rs.300/- PM!
The hostel building is in a bad shape and the
supporting pillar of the staircase leading to the first
floor, where the students have kept their personal
belongings , is broken and needs immediate repair.
The warden's office , the verandah where students
walk, sit and study during rainy seasons have tiled roof
and the roof has also to be replaced and it is right time
to set them right on safety ground. Some of the
relevant photos are attached for ready reference. So, it is planned to take up these repair works, by replacing the tiles with
sheets and replacing the staircase with suitable structure, during this vacation. After doing so , the students of Sevalayam will
surely have a safe accommodation when they come back.

This is Uma from SIP batch.Firstly, I take my immense pleasure to be a part of
your session. Actually this SIP batch was supposed to be held from 22nd of April
2014 but it got postponed from 28th of April 2014.I felt like giving up this batch
because my exams are fast approaching BUT now, having attended your session,
I feel that had I not attended this batch I would have not listened to your good
words and such a wonderful speech or it would have got delayed till next batch
which I would attend.Thanks for God.... I started implementing the ways to
improve English speaking skills which you taught us in your session. Kept a book
and written my ideas. I will continue this. And I will definitely come up with good
speaking and writing abilities. Once again thanks a lot n lot sir for your valuable
suggestions and encouragement. -- N.Umarani, Student of CS, Hyderabad
I am very much inspired with your session
today, it really taught me many things.I
will work upon it and start improving my
English from today onwards.Thank you so
much Sir for motivating and instilling
confidence in us. Your journey of
becoming CS taught me that even I can be
like you if I put in my dedication and zeal
towards this profession. SIP session is
amazing and it surely helped me to
overcome my flaws,it helped me to
become positive and confident. -

unable to run both the autos for a week. The earlier ones have purchased second hand
autos and left. They are waiting for dependable fellows. Some fellow has not properly
paid the daily rent, it appears and hence they are a bit worried
now. Venkatesh informed that he is better now and that he
visited Endolite India, on 02.05.2014. They have taken
measurements for his hand and it is likely to be fixed next
week. He also stated that he has got auto drivers and they will
operate his autos from today. I advised him to be careful and
see that the autos are given to only reliable people(like the
earlier ones)and if needed, seek the help of his local leaders. -

Anand- Aadoni:Anand from Aadoni, Kurnool District is a
muscular dystropy patient. He is in
touch with abhaya for past one and half
year. He tried a lot for his treatment...
But we told him that the disease is not
curable. After several enquiries with
various doctors, he realised that the
disease can not be cured. So he started
thinking of getting livelihood on his own
with abhaya support. He proposed a
dairy form and to supply milk for
corporate residential colleges. The
estimation was crossing 7Lakhs, so we
suggested to think in middle scale. Then
he proposed to take up Daily Newspaper
Distribution Agent. He spoke to one of
the distributor and sent the estimated
cost and earnings. With the investment
of Rs.93,000/-(Advance amount need to
be deposited for two months for 500
papers). After all expenditures, there
will be Rs.6,500/- per month profit for
him. In principle the proposal is
convincing and we need to understand
his situation in detailed. abhaya plan is
to involve one of our volunteer to meet
Mr.Aanand directly and understand his
family situation. If all found genuine,
then we can think of another abhaya
aatmavishwasam initiative for his
upliftment. - KSV Siva Krishna,
