The Rescuing Hug

The Rescuing Hug

The Rescuing Hug – The power of loving touch

This is a picture from an article called "The Rescuing Hug". The article details the first week of life of a set of twins, Kyrie (red dot) and Brielle (blue dot).

Apparently, each was in their respective incubators, and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller baby's heart rate stabilized and her temperature rose to normal.

They both survived, and are thriving, in fact, the two girls went home to share a crib, and still snuggle. The twins are happy kindergartners now. The hospital changed their policy after they saw the effect of putting the two girls together, and now they bed multiples together.

Let us not forget to embrace those whom we love and never underestimate the power of a hug! Hug someone today !

V-SET TINY RIPPLE PROJECT

V-Set Tiny Ripples

V-Set Tiny Ripples Project is a collaborative effort to bring harmony and joy in the lives of individuals, especially students.

The Project aims to:

1. To kindle humaneness in students

2. To awaken and make him understand the strengths and inner potentialities of students to face the challenges of life

3. To facilitate holistic development of the personality

Make a difference like tiny ripples:

² Many Tiny Ripples Create a Sea Change. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.

² Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or work for peace, he or she sends forth tiny ripples of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

² We may not make too many big splashes, but there are a few tiny ripples that we make from our own places which can make a difference in the lives of many. Each and every one of us has a role to play in our society individually and collectively. Let us use of strengths and make a tiny ripple in our society.

Suggestion for Implementation:

Approach few schools in your locality. Initiate V-Set classes in schools preferably for standards VII, VIII & IX.

Visit schools weekly once or twice at a mutually convenient time on a regular basis and name the school program as ‘V-Set Value Club’ and take classes on life skills topics.

The Program would cover the topics like Managing Anger, Facing Insult, Patience Pays, Be fair to others etc.

Collect positive incidents/inspiring news clippings from News Paper/magazines you come across on regular basis so that it can be shared with students.

Involve friends and inspire them to take up similar initiative from their respective places

If you have your own organizational set up, you can initiate this ‘V-Set Tiny Ripple Project’ under your organizational banner.

The Program will be on a non-academic fashion and involves no preaching or teaching. The role of the person who takes classes in schools is ‘Facilitator’ who facilitates the topic.

V-Set also shares its experiences for Teachers, Parents Meet programs.

V-Set would provide necessary training on Program facilitation.
