Vanita Mandali

Vanitha Mandali,
Women's wing of Sydney Telugu Association Inc.
A brief overview of past, current and future proposed activities.

Vanitha Mandali, women's wing of Sydney Telugu Association Inc.,
was started on 10 October 1993. The sub-committee consisted of Smt. Sujatha Kalavakota, Smt Sarayu Rao Varigonda and Smt. Shoba Vennelakanti. The 1st inaugural meeting was attended by many of our enthusiastic and talented Telugu women and the guest speaker at the meeting was the Hon Patricia Forsythe, Member for Ethnic Affairs Commission Board.

Over the years Vanitha Mandali, with the support and help of our women, successfully organised various fund raising activities by setting up food stalls at UIA, AHIA, Fiji Indian Diwali and community functions. It also organised various other programs like workshop on interview preparation and useful tips for job seekers, breast screening and mammogram testing, diabetes, gastroenterology, stress management and nutrition, art and craft, food demonstrations, beauty and relaxation (Reiki and Pranic healing) techniques. Vanitha Mandali actively co-ordinated and organised various dance, drama and group singing activities for our women and children in the Ugadi and Diwali functions held annually promoting our Telugu culture and values.

Vanitha Mandali had this year's first meeting on February 25 2007, where it discussed and took the views of various women in the Telugu community and came up with a new set of ideas that interest our women which will take our women into a new future direction.

The various ideas put forward by our enthusiastic women are as follows.

* Ladies picnic and family picnic, encouraging physical fitness involving bush walks, sports, games etc
* Women's health, beauty and nutrition
* Charity and senior citizens/community based activities, blood donation, help in soup kitchens etc.
* Monthly bush walks
* Tree planting in consultation with local councils
* Physical fitness and sports/outdoor activities
* Literary and recreational activities
* Organise family dinner and dance promoting our festivals ie Holi, Dassera(gharba) and Sankranthi(Rangoli)
* Art and craft (painting,embroidery, flower/fruit and salad arrangements), easy and healthy cooking tips/demonstrations(pickles, powders, cakes, sweets etc).
* Improving our communication skills around promoting traditional family values for our children
* Organise factory outlet shopping or long distance sight-seeing bus tours for women
* Ladies or family end-of-the-year dinner and dance

The first activity this year was kicked off with a ladies only picnic on Sunday, 22nd April 2007 at the Sydney Bicentennial Park, Sydney which was a huge success with about 43 women members attending. We would like to thank all the women and the co-ordinators which made this picnic an enjoyable and fun-filled event.
