*Remembering Erwadi, 6th August 2010* August 6th is a date many of us will remember with pain and anguish, as the “Erwadi Tragedy” when 25 persons with mental disabilities were charred to death around the precincts of a Dargah in rural Tamil Nadu. As people, as organizations, and as human rights movements we have commemorated the 6th of August every year in our own ways. Our pain and anguish in these years has not been only for those who perished in that fire but also for those who continue to struggle to attain a life of dignity, peace, love, emotional nourishment and self fulfillment. As societies, we all yearn to board that train to a society of harmony, connection and fulfillment of our life purpose. This year, in Pune, *Schizophrenia Awareness Association* and the *Bapu Trust for Research on Mind & Discourse *offer spaces at Fergusson College to revisit our dream for peaceful neighborhoods, mentally healthy societies and a world of dignity for persons living with a mental illness and their families. *Program Details* *Theme* : ‘Commemorating Erwadi’ - a panel discussion *Venue* : Recreation Hall, Fergusson College, FC Road, Shivajinagar, Pune 4 *Time* : 4.30 – 6.00 pm Do join us with your friends & relatives and let us together commemorate the losses as well as strengthen our resolve to contribute to the wellness of All.
