Gandhi Jayanthi

Good Wishes!

I started penning down with the thought of sharing our recent Gandhi Jayanti celebrations in the scheduled list of schools as part of the initiation of the activities for this year, but I ended up bringing out the mix of human feeling I was thrown into.I felt excited when our ARICHUVADI received an overwhelming response from the Teachers, Parents, and Students and surprisingly from peoples of villages and towns.

I felt poignant when I noticed the joyous faces of the children. What a gathering we had on a National Holiday! That?s the interest they have on their education and in some regard, that?s the measure of the hope they have on us.I felt embarrassed, when I had a glimpse over uniforms/dresses the Students worn. It seemed that the third of our basic needs had been almost wiped out from their dictionary. The Uniforms need immediate attention.

I felt the pride when we got catholic quotes for help. Student’s needs are growing along with their growth. These quotes show our presence and the need for our presence. We need to be more proactive in extending our help.I felt honored; I made my head counted. Again, we had successfully left a ray of hope in the young minds. May I call this an Educational Enlightenment

What next? As you know, our ARICHUVADI library for poor students is to be inaugurated on October 28, 2008. And if I have one query for you, what could it be? Be generous in your donations. Each and every rupee matters.

Thank you all!
