I have applied for widow pension. I asked many but i didnt get the pension. I went though collector and counselor but i didnt get it. Vimala told me tha t she will apply for her on behalf of PTS. I didnt do anything. She was the one who did everything. She said there is camp happening. She took me there and i submitted it. The full credit goes to PTS. Vimala: Is Rs.1000 enough for you? N: I am happy that i got this. But this money is not sufficient. It will be good if all fight together. There are many young widows without their husbands. It will be great support for them. V: What do you think, what should we do to get more money? N: Through this union we all can fight. V: How are you able to manage 2 kids alone? Is your family members helping you? N: I lost my parents at my young age. No one is there to help me. Now i lost my husband too. One of my child is a special child. I have to take care of everything. My in laws are not supporting me. V: Do you want to thank anyone for getting this amount? N: I would like to thank our branch incharge Vimala. With her help i got this money. It will be great if all struggling women get this help because there are many people who are struggling more than me. This money will be useful for my son's medical expenses. V: Will you share about this to your neighbors and join them as members? N: Yes i will.

We should be careful even with our known people. How are they talking how are they behaving everything we should note. Elder daughter knows about it now. But the younger daughter is too young to understand. If anyone touches or talkes to her she comes and tell immediately. Even if my brother touches her, she says that they are hugging me and i dont like it. She knows that if her dad touches her its not bad but other than him anyone touches her she comes and tells. V: Ok, SO you have taught her about good touch and bad touch. Alright, Have you ever listened to urimai kural? S: Whenever i get time, i listen to it.

Today Shreeja spoke to us. She is a new listener. She liked Urimai kural.
I am Vijayalakshmi from eri scheme. Today i heard all the programs in UK. All programs were really good and i liked it. Pudhu vidiyal drama is really good. It will be a good lesson for those who cheat on their wife. It will e a warning for them that this is what happens if they cheat their wife. Such people will never think on cheating again. Pudhu vidiyal drama is really meaningful. I heard the news too. Everywhere we are seeing water crisis. Praying for good rain to solve water crisis. Plant trees it will help in rain. If you have no place in your house, just plant it near your house. It will be useful for us.
I am Vimala from Mogappair. Insisting on the demands of Domestic helpers, human chain protest was organised. 10-20 people from our area attended the protest. Our demands were, minimum of Rs.80 for one hour work, 1 day weekly off, holidays during festivals, ESI for domestic helpers. This protest was taken place under the leadership of Sujatha mam and Santhanamari madam. Everyone participated in the protest. Mam told us to get salary in cheques if possible. With that we can try to get ESI facility. We all should work towards it actively. Taking part in this protest was a new experience for everyone. She insisted on getting salary in cheque. It will be great if we could get it like that. We request Govt to consider our request. Thanks to our mam.
