Community Care and Celebration: UTF Khumulwng Team’s 3rd Foundation Day Activities
On September 27, 2020, the United Tiprasa Forum (UTF) Khumulwng team celebrated the organization’s 3rd Foundation Day with a series of meaningful activities that reflected their commitment to community care and service. Led by the dedicated efforts of Sister Tanushree Debbarma, the day’s events showcased UTF’s ongoing mission to uplift and support the Tiprasa community through thoughtful gestures and acts of kindness.
The celebration began with a visit to Kherengbar Bubar Hospital, where the Khumulwng team distributed fruits, sweets, and masks to the patients and staff. This gesture was a clear indication of UTF’s concern for the well-being of both those receiving care and those providing it. By offering these simple yet thoughtful items, the team aimed to bring a bit of comfort and joy to those in the hospital, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.
Following their visit to the hospital, the UTF team extended their outreach to the broader community. They visited the Dukmali market area, a bustling hub of activity, where they distributed masks and books to commoners. In a time when health and safety are paramount, the distribution of masks was a vital initiative, helping to protect the community from the spread of illness. The provision of books, on the other hand, was an effort to encourage education and knowledge, reinforcing the importance of learning in every aspect of life.
Sister Tanushree Debbarma took the opportunity to further exemplify UTF’s core values by engaging in acts of kindness toward the elderly members of the community. Her interactions with the elderly were marked by genuine care and concern, highlighting the respect and attention that UTF holds for the older generation. These acts of kindness not only provided immediate comfort but also strengthened the bonds within the community, fostering a spirit of togetherness and mutual support.
The day of celebration culminated with a cake-cutting ceremony, a moment that brought together all participants in a shared expression of joy and gratitude. The cake-cutting was not just a festive end to the day’s activities but also a symbolic gesture, marking three years of dedication, hard work, and positive impact by UTF in the community.
The UTF Khumulwng team’s 3rd Foundation Day celebration was a powerful demonstration of how small, thoughtful actions can have a significant impact on a community. Through their efforts at the hospital, in the market, and with the elderly, the team embodied the essence of UTF’s mission—caring for others, fostering education, and building a strong, resilient community.
As UTF continues to grow and evolve, the values and initiatives showcased during this Foundation Day will remain central to its work. The Khumulwng team’s activities serve as a reminder that even in the simplest acts of kindness, there lies the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of many.
