Soroptimist International Madurai chapter gets a new team

With their successful run on service to others, Soroptimist International (SI) - Madurai chapter installed a new team for the year. President ship of Latha Abiruben was handed over to Sangeetha Ranjit Soundarajan, who took over the responsibility on a promising note.

The SI members all dressed up in colours of fuchsia glimmered with their determination to help the deprived. As SI Madurai enters the seventh year, the team has become stronger and wider with more sustainable projects.

Soroptimist International is a worldwide non-governmental organisation for women started in 1921 by a group of 80 women in Oakland to work for the benefit of underprivileged women and girls across the world.

Latha Abiruben in her tenure executed various useful projects for the people of Madurai. Her environment friendly project yielded good response from the public. The best picks from the previous year include, ‘save earth’ marathon, mega organic expo, distribution of go green stickers and the various awareness campaigns for women. “I still get calls from people with queries about organic farming. The expo helped to open up the minds of people to transform their lives into a healthy living” says the former president.

For this year, Sangeetha Ranjith Soundarajan too has useful projects in her bucket list. She plans to give priority to projects on hygiene and grooming and ‘educate to lead’ as she feels these would be of immense benefit to women and children.
