Another Lenten season has brought me closer to the Cross, onwhich my Lord was crucified for my sins. His death and resurrectionbrought me Redemption and Life.

So what shall I give Him in return? The least that I can do is to genuinely love Jesusabove everything else. In John 14:15 Jesus says, “If you love me, you will obey mycommandments.” What are His commandments? Jesus has summed up all the lawand the prophets in two commandments.

1. Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. From theemphasis on these words, it is understood, that in a materialistic world, it is not easyto love the invisible God, above everything else. We are distracted with manywordly things, and our communion with Him shrinks to a bare minimum. Jesuswould spend many hours before daybreak in communion with His Father. Howmuch more then, do we need this communion?

2. The second commandment is that we should love our neighbour as we love

ourselves. Who is our neighbour?In the story of the Good Samaritan,Jesus teaches us that any personwho needs our immediate help isour neighbour. If I am to love myneighbour as I love mysely, then Imust do for him whatever I wouldwant another person to do for mein such a situation.

So then what shall I give Him inreturn for His sacrificial love for me? I shalldedicate myself to obey His commands;so that His death on my behalf will notbe in vain.

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK…?

THE PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE?Dear Friends,

We are at the close of the Lenten seasonand looking forward to Easter. The Message ofEaster is the central focus of Christianity. Theapostle Paul said “If Christ has not been raised,your faith is futile; you are still in your sins”. But ifChrist is risen, as the scriptures teach and hundredsof witnesses testified, then we have the ultimatehope of humanity - eternal life with God. Whatdoes Easter mean to you? It should meaneverything, because Christ has conquered death!And that makes all the difference - now and forever.

We are also at the beginning of the holidayseason, schools have closed and holiday plansare in progress in every home. I am sure eachone of us is hoping to get away from the swelteringheat so enjoy your holidays up in the hills, downby the beach or just spend quality time with familyand come back refreshed and rejuvenated.

We have had some interesting programmesat the ‘Y’. The inter-collegiate debate with 14participants in the debate on the topic “Is SocialNetworking a boon or a bane” was a greatopportunity to interact with the Youth. The retreatled by Bishop Rt. Rev. Thomas K. Oommen and

Hi Folks,

‘Dawn’ though aneveryday Phenomena,never repeats. Everydawn has something veryunique about itself. Puttingdays into life is ageing.Putting life into days is

growing. Ageing or growing is not an annualphenomena, but an everyday process. Dayswhen one is not doing anything productive aredays when one just ages. How to put life intodays and keep growing? A human being is amulti dimensional personality and each of thesepersonalities has its own needs. The physicalneed is to ‘live’, the mental and intellectualneed is to ‘learn’ the emotional need is ‘to loveand to be loved’. But above all is the spiritual

need where ‘you leave a legacy’. Ensure thatevery today of your life you address each ofthese needs - and put life into your today andgrow everyday of your life.

To live - One must exercise their bodyeveryday.

To learn - develop the habit of reading ina language you understand.

To Love - the expressions are limitless.Find your way today and let your heart melt.

To leave a Legacy - Your contribution tothis Planet should transcend your life. Themeans are endless. Let us leave behind thespirit of our contribution in this world.

So stop ageing and start growing. Life isto live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy.

Joyce George

the International Women’sDay celebration with Prof.Babu Poozhikunnel givingthe keynote address waswell appreciated by all. TheSthyam Group programmeswith innovative games andsumptuous tea was wellattended. So be a part ofthe ‘Y’ participate in all activities and enjoy yourmembership.

Vishu or the Malayalam New Year is roundthe corner. Let each one of us realize that the clocknever stops ticking. It is busy all the time givingus moments. Every day it gives us twenty-fourhours. It never gives us a second less nor asecond more. It is equally fair by every humanbeing in its distribution. The clock gifts us thepresent moment and that is the golden moment ofour life. But most of us hardly realize it. Becausewe tend to either live in the past or the future.Therefore, the present moment is snatched out ofour lives and it is lost forever. It can never beretrieved and eventually it becomes our past. Andthen we turn back and mourn over it for letting itslip away just like that. With these words of wisdom.

Here’s wishing one and all a Happy Easterand a Happy Vishu.

movie, URMI, ‘Chimmi, chimmi, thilankannu warolikannu eniku’ was played and the dancerspresented the modern version.

The next was a guessing game, in which the audience participated. After a lot ofguessing, one of the members did succeed in naming the item involved in the guessing game.To the surprise of many who had particiated, it truned out to be a Baby Frock.

This was followed by a hirarious skit ‘Vidya Oru Abhyasam’. It is a parody on the adultliteracy classes conducted in our neighbourhoods. The teacher in her frantic bid to secure thegovernment grant is desperately trying to educate her adult students so that they couldimpress the insector. In order to have a strength of more than six in her class, she is forcedto call in a passing fisherwoman. The ridiculous answers given by the students contributed tothe humour of the skit. It must be mentioned here that a new Youth member of the YWCA(Ashlyn Benny) and a member of the Kripa group participated in the skit and gave it thenecessary punch.

The Lucky Dip was the last part of the programme.After this snacks were served along with the tea.The Kripa group is thankful to tis current leader Sarah Padmini Joseph for her efforts in

making this programme a success. She conceived the programme, did the script writing,choreographing and direction all by herself.

The group thanks all the members of the other groups (Prathiba, Dharmam, Sathyamand Sneham) for having accepted the invitation and come in large numbers to attend thefunction.

WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR HOUSEHOLDS

The biggest challenge in waste management is the word that defines it - “waste”- a term which conveys the meaning of having to be dumped forever. But there arevery few things that cannot be recycled for use and waste management basicallymeans finding a route to add value to the waste, so that it becomes of some use tomankind.

Pelican Biotech & Chemical Labs (PBCL), who had conducted a session onWaste Management at the YWCA a few months back, is a group that has developed several technologiesfor handling industrial wastes. They have now extended the same technology for handling domesticwaste and have submitted their project report to the Suchitwa Mission (which is an arm of the LocalSelf-Govt.) at Thiruvananthapuram and are awaiting their approval. Meanwhile they have submittedbrief details of their procedure for handling domestic waste for the information of the YWCA members.

The bulk of the waste generated in our homes is made up of packaging materials, which aremostly plastic as well as cellulosic paper, glass, ceramic and metal. Glass and metal have highlycompetitive recycling methods and are hence not an issue. Ceramic in an easy landfill and so not aproblem either.

Plastic waste can be recycled if they are systematically segregated and cleaned. This cleanplastic waste can be recycled in a centralized collection centre.

The average household has not yet learnt to separate organic waste from plastic and paper waste.In fact. 90% of food items are bought in polythene covers, consumed and the waste dumped back in thecover and thrown in the dust-bin. In this process the waste becomes non-recyclable. Since thepolythene cover does not degrade, the organic waste inside also does not decompose.

Thus the first and most important action required is to teach the public how to handle waste.Organic waste and dirt are those that can attract microbial infection and gradually decompose. Addingsome fast decomposing microbial culture can speed up the process. PBCL has patented a product called

Pelrich CompoSorb (PCS), developed from natural materials like coir-path and sawdust with ACUAA(Advance Composting Using Aerobic Assistance) technology. During conventional aerobic composting,the leaching liquid and size reduction of the composting material reduce the composting process andcreates stench, leach liquid and pathogenic microbes. PCS absorbs the stench and obnoxious gases andthe waste disintegrates into nutrient rich organic manure. This can be used for growing vegetables aswell as ornamental plants in the garden.Under their integrated domestic waste management proposal, PBCL proposes as under:1. Providing large used plastic bags to every household for collecting plastic waste.2. Providing a bag containing 10 Kgs. of Pelrich CompoSorb to every household in the municipality.3. Providing 2 composting vessels made of recycled plastic of approx. 20 lts each to every household

for composting domestic waste.4. Training programme for waste segregation at home.5. Collection of waste.6. Involving of local labour for the collection and recycling of plastic.They suggest the following procedure for waste management at the household level:1. Hang the large plastic bag in an appropriate location, where ever family member can have easy

access to drop clean plastic waste.2. The collected plastic has to be clean. Milk packets should be rinsed and cleaned; take-away food

packets should be cleaned of all organic waste and soft drink and juice bottles should be rinsedand drained. These can then be taken for recycling.

3. Take one of the composting vessels and using a nail, make at least 4 holes of 1 cm diameter at thebottom. Now put a 2 inch layer of PCS into the composting vessel.

4. Add the daily bio-degradable waste generated at home into the vessel upto 4 inch thickness.Make sure the waste does not contain any free liquid as this will drain through the holes andcreate a stench.

5. After every 4 inches of waste, add an inch layer of PCS. This will prevent obnoxious gases. Keepthe vessel covered so that cats and rats do not get to it but make sure that the lid has enoughopenings to let air pass through freely.

6. Pelrich Bio-Rakshak (diluted 5 ml to a litre of water) may be sprayed over the vessel so that fliesand other insects are kept away.

7. Continue the above steps will the vessel gets filled up. Then take the second vessel and repeat theprocedure for the next 15-20 days. By the 20th day the first vessel would have completedcomposting. It can now be emptied and used for organic farming.During our discussions, Ms. Dhanya Gopinath stated that she had used a similar procedure

using 2 large flower pots into which she kept putting the daily kitchen waste. Once a week, she wouldsprinkle the contents of the pot with EM solution, which is readily available in shops stocking gardeningmaterials eg. Abtec Ecoshop on Good shepherd road. Once the first pot got full, she began with thesecond and before the second pot got full. The contents of the first pot would have completed compostingand got converted into organic manure, which she used for her kitchen garden. House-helps can betaught how to segregate organic waste from plastic and then rinse, clean and dry the plastic bags/packets and soft drink and juice bottles. They can be encouraged to do this by permitting them to sellthe cleaned and segregated plastic packets and bottles at any of the “akkiri” shops and retain theproceeds for themselves.

In this way each YWCA member will have contributed to the management of waste of their ownhouseholds without polluting the land or atmosphere around us. As the saying goes - “Let each onesweep the front of his house and the whole world will be clean”.

HEALING MIRACLE FOR BURNS

Keep in mind this treatment of burns which is included in teachingbeginner fireman. First Aid consists of spraying cold water on the affectedarea until the heat is reduced which stops the continued burning of all layers ofthe skin. Then, spread the egg whites into the affected area. The whites form aprotective layer when dried. The egg white is a natural collageu. When you apply, applythem layer upon layer at least for 1 hour. No trace burnt mark will be left. Skin will regain itsnormal colour. The burned area becomes totally regenerated, thanks to the collageus in theegg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.
