VIRAR, MARCH 23, 2010: The Community Care Centre of the Resurrection Parish, Virar was inaugurated on the feast of Don Bosco, January 31, 2010. The Centre got off to a flying start by organizing a health camp, which was a huge success. Hardly a month had elapsed, after its maiden venture of conducting the health camp, the Community Care Centre embarked on yet another ambitious project - to empower the economically weak women of the neighbourhood area by ensuring that they pick up a livelihood skill.
The Community Care Centre, under the aegis of Fr. Edwin Colaco, networked with the CMIE and organized a tailoring course for the women who belong to the economically weaker section. There are 20 women taking advantage of the livelihood skill provided to them. The course commenced on Saturday, March 20, 2010. The duration of the course is one month. The CMIE has taken full charge and they are sending a teacher to instruct the participants. The concerned authorities have also promised to help the women in marketing the products which women will prepare after the course.
The CCC is hardly a couple of months old. But the enthusiasm which they generate and the dedication they exhibit, they will go a long way in helping the economically poor people of the area.
