Extra Curricular Activities for Louisa Home Children

Sports for the Louisa Home Children- We believe that sports is also a part of the development of the children of Louisa Home. Volunteers help them play games at the school and teach them exercises too.

An experience in Juggling at Louisa Home

In an effort to expose the 8 young girls of the Louisa Home to something interesting, a visitor from the USA introduced them to juggling. The girls were enthralled and in return did some nice dancing for the teacher.

These eight young girls have been picked up from the streets of Bangalore, where they were abandoned by parents who could not look after them due to abject poverty. Some children came from very questionable backgrounds. LSN Trust and some of the calendar models decided that they would assist these children by ensuring that they were provided a safe and decent shelter, fed, clothed and educated. LSN Trust and the supporters, have been paying for their monthly expenses since February 2017. In addition, LSN Trust and the people who have contributed towards this cause arrange small tea events where the children are treated to flavoured milk/juice, cakes and other goodies they like, while also experiencing some learning activities. This is an ongoing programme for LSN Trust and the calendar models/supporters.

The young face of the Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust, Niska is a dynamic well-travelled advertising professional with a post graduate degree from London, UK. She grew up with the social ethics that her parents and grandparents believed in and even as a young child, used to accompany her mother to the various 4S Foundation projects. As gen next of Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust with a forward thinking global perspective, she is looking to expand the reach of the Foundation into new areas. She feels especially passionately about new-age projects like alternative energy for villages, eco friendly industries and sustainability programmes.

A very successful corporate Image Consultant, who lived in Africa and the Middle East. A personal tragedy, the loss of her surgeon husband, forced her to step out of her secure comfort zone and become a financially independent woman, capable of providing her three children with a secure future. A dynamic Rotarian and Founder Director of The Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust, her goal is to enable young women to fend for themselves and become productive members of society. In a world where so many urgent social problems need tackling, she believes that pooling resources, partnering with like-minded, influential individuals and involving them in social change projects is really the smart way forward.

Subbarao, a highly successful corporate head, also wore many different hats over the course of his illustrious life and career. He was many things to many people. Influential CEO of a multinational company, caring husband and father, Sai baba devotee, composer of popular hymns and bhajans, author of a devotional book and co founder of the 4S Foundation which was later renamed Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust. He passed away in the mid-2000’s but the work he started in collaboration with his wife and daughter lives on.

Lalitha Subbarao is the inspiration behind the Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust. Armed with a strong social conscience and a broad based global education (Masters from Ohio State University, USA) plus a deep desire to help disadvantaged women, her dream is now being realized through the efforts of the Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust. Lalitha was a woman of substance who worked quietly and steadily towards the betterment of those around her. Besides being a role model to her children, she authored and published two books–Nanu Mattu America in Kannada (America and I) describing her student life there in the mid 1950’s and a comprehensive book – Festivals of India. She rightly believed that women must be educated, empowered and financially independent. An educated wife and mother would in turn be a strong positive influence in the family and society at large, just as she was. Her legacy is carried on by the Lalitha Subbarao Nanjundayya Memorial Trust.
