• Establishing a Village Resource Centre and Village Knowledge Centres to provide people with needs based information, materials, training and linkages; • Specific programmes for adolescents on Life Skills to improve their employability in non-fishing sectors; • Reducing the health expenditure by organising regular and periodical health camps through Government Primary Health Centres and NGOs. Peoples Action for Development (PAD) Peoples Action for Development - PAD was registered during 1985. It established its base in the Gulf of Mannar region in 2002 as a non-profit, non-political, non-religious, society committed to nurture interventions for strengthening food and livelihood security in the region through conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Community story - Velammal Velammal is a widow who hesitated to participate in the visioning process like any other shy woman. At 40, Velammal is the head of the family and has 4 children, all of whom are studying at school. Her father-in-law is staying with her. Velammal collects seaweed from the nearby island by Vallam, and has done so for the past 10 years. Through this, she earns about Indian Rs 20 to 50 per day. Collection of seaweed is possible only for six months, so for the rest of the year she is involved in mat weaving out of palmyrah leaves. She sells the mats in the nearby town (Ervadi Tharha) and the income she gets out of this helps in meeting the daily expenditures for basic necessities. Her most proud occasion was when her daughter completed school with good marks. As a widow she takes pride in educating her daughter, though it was discouraged by her relatives. After some time, Velammal was happy to share and cherish her strengths with the field team, and identify the support she had mobilised to educate her daughter. This exercise helped to build her vision tree. Velammal presented her vision at the community meeting, and was honored when some of the common elements of her vision were accepted by the community in the community vision. It was the first time she had stood in front of the community in a common place and spoken about her achievements, strengths and future aspirations. Everybody praised her because she is educating all her children though she does not have stable income. She felt proud of herself and assured the community that her visions to build her own house, and educate her children to higher standards so that they can secure good jobs, will be realised. 86
