The main programme of the morning session was the “Thrillorama” Theatre Workshop conducted by R. Kiran Bodhi, Assistant Professor of St. Cyril’s College, Adoor. The session was highly entertaining, engaging, and informative. Volunteers were divided into four groups named Chiri, Ela, Kidu, and Kili.

The activities created a lively and enthusiastic learning environment and strengthened bonding among the volunteers.

After the workshop, volunteers had lunch and prepared for the afternoon session.

The class provided practical knowledge about mushroom cultivation, including methods of cultivation, maintenance, harvesting techniques, and marketing opportunities. The session also highlighted mushroom cultivation as a potential self-employment opportunity and encouraged villagers and volunteers to consider it as a sustainable livelihood option.

In the evening session, volunteers participated in tea break and refreshment followed by community prayer, which promoted unity and spiritual harmony. Later, a Nadanpattu session titled “Kaliyattam” was conducted by Deepu Manrothuruth and Kumari Annapurna. The programme was highly energetic, entertaining, and culturally enriching.
