AOL shared that apart from food items, essentials for ladies and children such as sanitary pads, undergarments, dry cakes, milk powder, stationery items, cash, etc have been handed over to the management committees of different relief camps.
So far, over 2500 persons including 1400 females and 700 children have benefitted from the seva activities of the organisation.
Elangbam Anita, program coordinator of the Art of Living Manipur Relief Program said, "In these challenging times, it's important for us to be of use to the needy people around us and keep our strength and faith intact" .
"We have focused on catering to the needs of the women and children inmates as they are more affected by the displacement.
Our volunteers will work towards continuing the relief efforts until normalcy is restored", she added.
AOL also shared that in the next phase, it is planning to start trauma relief activities to help the victims come to terms with the trauma of the conflicts.
"Acknowledging that such conflicts take a heavy mental toll on the public, trained trauma care professionals of the Art of Living will start counselling sessions to assess the anxiety levels and provide suitable yoga and meditation-based programs to the inmates", it added.
