The surprising benefits of lemon!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

COASTAL PEOPLE - A Second Literacy Drive Underway...

"FILOMI is past 55, she could be seen selling fish in the hereby market early in the day. Her two daughters are no more and she has six grandchildren to look after. But nothing stops her from taking her lessons these days. As the clock strikes two, she would be present at the 'Athulyam' class organized by LEAP Kerala Mission, which aims to achieve cent percent primary education literacy in the state. Until four, when the church bells ring, she would struggle with Malayalam and Mathemetics.

Filomi is just one of the many fisherwomen who are giving 'Athulyam' a unique dimension in Pulluvila, a coastal neighbourhood in Karinkulam panchayat. One of the many places across the State where the programme is evolving into a second literacy drive.

Thresia's daughter is just four months old, but she carries her child with her to the class. Mary goes for daily labour but makes it to the class regularly. Like Filomi, like Usha and Maria and many others here, it is something they never thought would happen to their lives. "My children who are in school remind me to join them when they study at night. I can't be a bad student," Usha laughs out loudly.

Latha, the Panchayat Co-ordinator of the programme and Athiyannoor nodal 'prerak', says this is the same story with many women in the coastal area. "Though we aim at fourth equivalency, this is one place where we are starting from the very beginning. It's brush-up for some, those who were part of the 'Saksharatha' movement. Some others had gone to shcools, but never completed and some have not had the fortune to study. The response in coastal areas towards Athulyam has been tremendous," she says. Soshamma, the class coordinator, seconds her opinion.

In Pulluvila itself, there are more than nine centres working in close distance. Everywhere, we met the same excited and enthused faces. More women than men; in fact, in most classes, we met only women. Where there is no electricity, we saw them on the beachside, late in the evening, under a chimney lamp. But some of them do not hide their disappoinment.

"This is my son's book, we need books and pens. We have no money to spend on our education, when our children are in school," says one of them.

Karimkulam panchayat 'prerak' Vimala says since it is the end of the Plan year for the panchayat, the local body is finding it hard to find money and has promised to hep during the start of the next fiscal year. Until then, the LEAP Mission would have to find its own sources. "We have planned it as a three-month campaign. But going by the response, we have focused all our attention on it. All efforts are being taken to see to it that the adult learners are supported in their motivation to learn," says Prabhakar Pahassi, LEAP Mission Director.

By the end of March, the classes are to finish and the 'students' have to sit for examination on April 18. It sounds a Herculean task as many are yet to go beyond the 'sarakshararm'. But the class coordinators are hopeful.

"They are able to work wonders, for they are real people who know how to handle everything," Pushpam, a class coordinator, says. They have three textbooks and a special curriculam which is designed for adultl learners.

Though many were not aware why their exams have been set for April 18, one LEAP Mission official disclosed the secret. "It was the day when Kerala was declared cent percent literate 20 years back." The women know it's their turn now."

The pot is still hot over there at St. Mary's, Vettucaud...

The school is always on the 'news' for bad reasons mostly! This time it seems to be a problem between the HM and the PTA over the programmes, projects and its implementation and accounts and so on and so forth.

All concerned need to work together to steer the school away from further troubles. The children are left to the mercy of the quarrelling teachers, teachers and heads, heads and the local parish and so on. We can't afford to give bad example to our children. Let us mind our words and deeds and inspire the young ones.

Transfer Policy...

The Catholic Teachers' Guild executives came together to have a discussion with the sub-committee of the Board of Education to express before them their views on the transfer policy which is on its making.

Other than the suggestions given by the various sections of the teachers, the mind of the Guild teachers was also need to be known. They were told of the selection of the 'home school' and 'out station' services' to determine the place of transfer and so on.

Teacher Training institutions think of hike in salary...

The heads of the Theera Jyothi Teacher Training Institute and St. Jacob's Teacher Training College came together along with their office staff and the ones here in the Corporate Managers' Office to evaluate the performance of both the institutions and also to think of the future, especially in the context of preparing for the budget for the forthcoming fiscal year.

We also discussed the possibility of making a hike in the salary of all the staff there. It was felt that it was long due and has to be considering the recent NCERT proposals also.
