Stories of Transformation
Rendering Seva is about selflessness and love for the Supreme. The Supreme can be perceived in a form or formless, with attributes or without attributes. Scribe Seva emerges from the roots of pure Love for the Supreme. A group of Youth from different backgrounds come together to contribute their bit for the visually challenged people. Scribe Seva began in the year 1995 by the Chennai Metro Region with the sole motive to provide basic education in scribe for the visually challenged.
Scribe seva for visually impaired students is a distinct seva by the Chennai Metro Region. The uniqueness of this seva is that almost 50% of volunteers are not ‘so called members’, and a large number of youth and pre-sevadal students also actively participate in this Seva.
Since 1995, nearly 220 sevadals from 3 districts of Chennai Metro Region, have benefitted 220 students. Thus, proving to the world that service with a pure heart is the way to build humanity.
The Seva activities include writing revision exams for the visually impaired, reading aloud the study material, and scribing examinations at various educational centers across Tamil Nadu. Along with studies, Bhajan singing activity is also carried out every Saturday. Mahila participants showed an incomparable enthusiasm for the scribe Seva by visiting the institutions and aiding the students in their studies and writing the exams on students’ behalf.
Scribe Seva is the epitome of growth and pronounces that even with a disability, a strong mind and determination can make a lot of difference. With Sevadal sisters and brothers, this is highly possible. The students are even exposed to preparing for higher studies and examinations. Technology also helps in enhancing the learning experience – the facilitators send voice notes to the students which helps them to have a repetitive listening experience and ensures comprehensive learning.
