Shall appreciate your kind help and support to make these Ammas happy atleast for a day. Money to be transferred only after our confirmation as we do not wish to collect extra money please.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Onam Amma-marodoppam (Onam with Mothers) - 19 August 2023
Onam is celebrated everywhere, every year, despite the increasing cost of vegetables and provisions required for Onam sadya in every household. There are many underprivileged Ammas in our Society who cannot afford to celebrate on their own. There are others who are not able to celebrate due to absence of their dear ones, near to them with supporting hands. These are deprived Ammas waiting for the month of August to avail satisfying opportunities provided by MFG to them every year.
With your and our MFG Patrons blessings and support, we would like to host 100 economically deprived Ammas, on the eve of Onam on 19 August 2023 - Saturday - for giving them a sumptuous Onam sadya, nice Onapudava (set-mundu) and Rs 200 per person for meeting their auto-fare travel expense.
In addition to MFG local unit members, our local Municipal set up has 27 Asha Workers who would also join to support the aged Ammas by giving attention and motherly care to each one of them.
We shall request M/s Kalashetra Music and Dance Academy to entertain them with Onam nadan pattu and dance.
This occasion will give Ammas an opportunity to interact with other Ammas, well-wishers, near and dear ones and also to share their words of wisdom with the younger generation. This will be a platform for them to reminisce and to dance and sing along with the young artists. As in the past, they will return home fully satisfied by spending quality and meaningful time, expressing gratitude to sponsor patrons and MFG and praying for them.
We shall submit bills and invoices to MFG promptly after the event. If any of our patron members are around on this date, kindly request them to join to meet Ammas and to celebrate Onam with them.
The proposed budget is as below:
Ona pudava set mundu Rs 30524.00
(budgetary bill invoice and photograph of Onapudava attached)
We hope that MFG will accord sanction and sponsors will come forward to extend financial help.
There shall be a lot of Onam blessings from these aged Ammas to each and every one.
With kind regards,
AC Peter

Dear Gopalji
I had sent the below message to you about two weeks back from my phone and it
went from my iCloud id by mistake. You might not have received it.
Therefore, I am resending it.
Have a nice day. Best regards

Dear Gopalji
Hope you and your family are doing good.
As you are aware Onam is coming. Thiruvonam is on 29 August 2023. We had done
“Onam Ammayodoppam “ program during last year in two places in two districts.
During Onam, It is happy for the poor aged people to have an occasion to meet
their neighbours or friends who are otherwise in aid or unable to walk around
or interact. The volunteers bring them taking personal care so that they enjoy
the company of others, some music, dance, etc. a new Onapudava and grand
Onasadya. Many of them, are not enjoying a full meal in their current state of
lives, every day.
We have been giving this from MFG in last few years except in CoVID time. We
have provided Onapudava, Onasadya and Travel expense to 50 ammas last year in
two places. We are giving this to aged men also as it doesn’t look good to
avoid very old men in a household while we give the opportunity to women.
This year we identified 60 deprived Ammas in Ottapalam for Onam Celebration
with Ammas.
The anticipated Budget for the program at Ottapalam would be:
Sadya for 75 people @ Rs. 130. : Rs. 9750/-
( 60+ 15 volunteers)
Onapudava @ Rs. 350 for 60 pax :Rs. 21000/-
Conveyance cost. : Rs. 5000/-
Total amount. : RS. 35750/-
Bills and reports along with photos will be sent to you.
Kindly inform the concurrence to enable me make necessary arrangements in
Ottapalam
I have also requested Peterji to inform his requirements of Onapudava, copy of
the

Thanks and best regards
