Some journeys are counted in years. C-Park’s journey is counted in lives touched, hope restored, kindness shared, and change created. 💙
On August 8, 2026, C-Park celebrated its 8th Anniversary, bringing together members of its community, donors, supporters, and well-wishers. It was more than a celebration of another year; it was a moment to pause with gratitude and reflect on a journey shaped by purpose, service, compassion, and the people who made it meaningful.
A Meaningful Beginning to the Celebration
The celebration began with Yuva Priya as the Master of Ceremony, warmly guiding the gathering. Apsara Zenobius followed with a warm welcome address, bringing everyone together in the spirit of celebration and gratitude. 😊
The programme continued with a prayer and special address by Rev. Fr. Peter Thumma, creating a moment to reflect on compassion, service, and our shared responsibility towards one another. Rev. Fr. William also extended his greetings to C-Park on its 8th Anniversary, setting the tone for a celebration that remembered why the journey began and why it continues.
Looking Back at Eight Years of C-Park’s Journey
A video showcasing C-Park’s eight-year journey took the audience through its services, initiatives, and support extended to individuals and communities. It offered a glimpse into how a vision has grown through dedication, service, and the support of people who believed in its purpose.
The journey was a reminder that meaningful change does not happen overnight. Every initiative, helping hand, and person who became part of C-Park’s story has contributed to the journey celebrated today.
Reflecting on Mission, Vision, and Lives Touched
The celebration then turned towards the heart of C-Park — its mission and vision. Ms. Priscilla Arulsamy shared the organisation’s purpose, direction, and the values that continue to guide its journey.
At the centre of this vision is the belief that mental wellness and emotional well-being matter deeply to the quality of a person’s life. Creating happier and healthier lives is about helping people feel supported, understood, empowered, and hopeful about the future. 💚
Recognising the People Behind the Impact
Mr. Lawrence, one of the trustees of C-Park, reflected on the organisation’s journey and milestones, bringing the focus back to what truly gives the work meaning — the lives behind the journey. His reflection highlighted that every milestone is connected to the people, support, and generosity that continue to strengthen C-Park’s mission.
The celebration recognised the donors whose generosity and continued support have strengthened C-Park’s journey. Mr. Antony Selva Raj, Mr. Charles, Ms. Francine, Ms. Jayanthi, Mr. Vincent Thomas, Ms. Prisca Marie, Mr. Arun Subramanian, and Mr. Alexis Calliard were recognised for their valuable contributions.
Their generosity represents more than a financial contribution. Every act of giving begins with trust — trust that what we share can become meaningful in another person’s life. ❤️ The celebration also acknowledged the silent contributors who continue to support the mission without seeking recognition.
Mr. Antony Selva Raj, Mr. Charles, and Ms. Francine shared heartfelt reflections on giving. Mr. Antony spoke about the power of giving, Mr. Charles about his trust in C-Park, and Ms. Francine about finding fulfilment through service and giving back.
Their experiences carried one powerful truth: giving is not simply about what we give away; it is about the hope, trust, purpose, and change we create through it.
Learning to Save, Invest, and Prepare for Tomorrow
The celebration also included a session by Mr. C. Ravi Kumar, CEO of CRK Financial Services, on saving, investing, and preparing responsibly for the future. He explored safety, liquidity, and yield, along with the concept of a financial pyramid, encouraging participants to consider their financial goals and risk appetite.
CRK Financial Services provides financial solutions across mutual funds, insurance, deposits, bonds, tax-related services, and other financial products. The session highlighted how financial awareness can help build a secure and confident future. 📈
A Celebration of Gratitude and Community
Participants also shared their feedback and perspectives, reflecting the sense of connection and community that has grown alongside C-Park over the past eight years.
One message became clear: C-Park’s journey has never been about one person. It has been shaped by donors who chose to give, supporters who chose to believe, people who chose to serve, and individuals who chose to make a difference.
The celebration concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by Mrs. Alfio Sharemila, expressing gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the 8th Anniversary memorable and meaningful.
As C-Park moves forward, its commitment remains rooted in mental wellness, happiness, compassion, and meaningful social impact.
Eight years. Countless lives touched. One shared purpose; to revive happiness, strengthen mental wellness, and create lasting change. ✨
To every donor, supporter, volunteer, well-wisher, and silent contributor, thank you for being part of C-Park’s journey. Your trust, generosity, and compassion continue to make the work possible. 🙏
C-Park — Creating Change. Transforming Lives. Reviving Happiness.
Here’s to continuing the journey, touching more lives, creating more hope, and building a future where giving becomes a part of how we create happiness for one another. 💙
