This year, Vaangae Anna celebrated Puthandu with our migrant brothers and fellow Singaporeans. Our Puthandu event was held at Indian Heritage Centre on the 22nd of April 2018.
Brothers, participants and volunteers engaged in Kolam drawing which was an engaging activity for both out brothers and participants. Brothers who had not drawn Kolams before were able to try something new, while our participants were able to learn more on our culture through this activity as well. Following this, we had a POP Quiz which was in both English and Tamil. Brothers worked with the participants to solve the questions in their groups and tried to win prizes. Through this activity, there was opportunity for interaction and engagement between the brothers and participants.
Finally, everyone had lunch together which allowed for more interaction between brothers and participants. There was sharing of stories from their past which helped everyone learn more about each other. Both our brothers and participants expressed their interest to participate in VA events in the future and were eager to engage with each other more in the future.
Cricket Game Sessions
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in India. Many of our brothers spent many hours of their childhood years playing cricket in the grounds near their homes. With their childhood friends and family members. Cricket is one thing that many of our brothers are passionate about and the spark in their eyes when they talk about it is simply unmissable.
As such, we have formed a Cricket Team with our brothers and volunteers. Our brothers have taught us their beloved sport Cricket. As a team we practice on Sundays, once a month. After practices, we have picnics, eat food, relax and share our life experiences with each other.
All are welcome! So do join us! Our next session will be on 28th July 2019.
