❤️ 10 Prosthetic Limbs. 10 New Beginnings. One Beautiful Journey of Giving. ❤️

A few months ago, Sarasa Natya Academy by Preethi Ramesh , under the guidance of Preethi Ramesh, celebrated its Annual Day 2026 with a special purpose.

For the first time, the proceeds from the Annual Day were donated to Yaadhum, with the hope that the celebration of art could also become an opportunity to serve someone in need.

Today, we are extremely happy to share what that collective effort has accomplished. 🙏

With the funds raised through the Annual Day, Yaadhum and Sarasa Natya Academy were able to provide 10 prosthetic limbs to 10 people affected by leprosy at Gremaltes Hospital, Shenoy Nagar, Chennai.

People affected by leprosy often face challenges even after treatment. Some lose mobility or limbs, making simple everyday activities, work, and independent living difficult.

A prosthetic limb can make a real difference. It can help them move more independently, return to daily activities, depend less on others, and most importantly, live with greater confidence and dignity.

All 10 prosthetic limbs were custom-made by Mohana Orthotics and Prosthetics Center, who supported this initiative by providing them at a significantly discounted cost.

🙏 This would not have been possible without many helping hands.

Our heartfelt thanks to Preethi Ramesh for joining hands with Yaadhum and making the Sarasa Natya Academy Annual Day a platform not only for celebrating Bharatanatyam, but also for giving back to the community.

A very special thank you to all the parents and families of Sarasa Natya Academy who attended the Annual Day, supported the event, and generously contributed.

Our sincere thanks to Arun from Gremaltes Hospital (https://gremaltes.in/) for his support and coordination, and to Dr. Deepa Muthukumar ( https://www.facebook.com/deepa.muthukumar.5 ) for helping us identify the right resources and making this initiative possible.

A special appreciation to Thilaka Ramesh, who had carried this dream for a long time. She worked behind the scenes throughout the process, coordinating the effort, identifying the right beneficiaries and resources.

And finally, a huge thank you to the entire Yaadhum team ( Ramesh Kumar Radhakrishnan, Tamil Selvi Viswanathan , Kumaran, Nanda Kumar N Shanmugam , Arthilakshmi Kumaran , Ganesh , Lavanya Selvaraj, Kavitha Partha Sarathy and Hema Sankaran ( from SNA ) who contributed their time, ideas, effort, and support to turn an intention into something meaningful.

This is exactly what Yaadhum hopes to represent - bringing people together through community, culture, service, and compassion.

This is only a beginning.

Let us continue to join hands, work together, and serve many more people through Yaadhum.

Together, we can do a lot more for our community and for those who need us the most. 🙏❤️

With immense joy and pride, we are excited to share that Sarasa Natya Academy by Preethi Ramesh is celebrating its Annual Day 2026 🎉

Sarasa Natya Academy has been a beautiful space where tradition meets dedication. Under the passionate guidance of Preethi Ramesh, young dancers are nurtured not just in the art of Bharatanatyam, but in discipline, culture, and expression. Every year, the stage comes alive with vibrant performances, and many students take significant milestones forward with their arangetrams, showcasing years of hard work and commitment.

This year makes the celebration even more special ❤️

For the very first time, the proceeds from this event will be donated to Yaadhum, an officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Yaadhum was created with the vision of bringing people together through community, culture, service, and compassion—and this initiative beautifully reflects that spirit.

We warmly invite you all to support, encourage, and be part of this meaningful event. Your presence and contribution will help make a real difference and strengthen the bond within our community.

Let’s come together to celebrate art, support a noble cause, and make this event truly memorable 🙏

Dear Community Members,

Many shared how valuable this Generative AI Workshop could be for our community, and we truly appreciate all the thoughtful feedback.

Several members kindly requested that we schedule the workshop in February, so it doesn't fall during the busy holiday season. February also works better for many high-school seniors who are currently focused on college admissions.

We also received suggestions to revisit a few details ,such as whether it should be a one-day session, what the fee structure should look like, and which topics would be most helpful to cover.

To make sure we plan this workshop in the best possible way, we will soon be sending out a short survey to gather everyone’s input.

Thank you all for your support and for helping us shape this program for the benefit of the entire community.

Dear friends,

Last month, we hosted Ramkumar Standup Comedy Show by partnering with Global Media, and we mentioned that the proceeds would be used to support people in need who has been going through a very difficult time. I am happy to say that, just as promised, we have been able to make that contribution to DonatePeople Charity. This is not just a donation, this is a reflection of who we are as a community and what we stand for.

In moments like these, our unity matters the most. When one of us struggles, all of us stand behind them.

We want to continue spreading positivity, hope, and support.

Thanks to all volunteers - Ramesh Kumar Radhakrishnan , Thilaka Ramesh Nanda Kuma Kumaran, Tamil Selvi Viswanathan, Kavitha, Ganesh and Kamalbabu.

Thanks Veera for Photography.
