Cleanliness Awareness Program

Inspired by Breath-Water-Sound workshop, 380 Students (8th to 10th Standard) of the New English School took part in a Cleanliness Awareness Program conducted on 9th Nov 2006

Cleanliness Camp

In February 2007, the ‘Nirmal Gram Abhiyan’ (Clean Village Campaign) was undertaken, the objective of which was to create awareness regarding health, hygiene and the importance of cleanliness. Volunteers along with Breath-Water-Sound participants cleaned the entire village for the whole day, segregated the disposals and showed villagers how to take care of garbage.

Hooghly Flood Relief Program

During the flood in West Bengal, and especially in the district of Khanakul, almost all mud houses were destroyed. This left thousands homeless, sick and penniless.

The Art of living volunteers, along with distributions of clothes, dry food items and medicines, also implemented methods to stop the spread of water-borne diseases like influenza and thyroid in the flood-hit areas.

Breath-Water-Sound workshops were conducted to help villagers to come out of the trauma.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”
