On 22nd Nov. 2017 we began the Nutrition and Environment camp for our Auxilium Community College students. Sr. Krupalata Pereira and Sr. Rashmika Macwan were the animators of this annual event.
It was a three day camp- the theme being “Save life- Save environment”.The Camp began with an inaugural function. Fr.George D’Britto, SDB was invited as the chief guest. We began with a short prayer moment and felicitated the guests of honour – Sr. Teresa Plathara and Sr. Lata Arogiaswamy, after which Fr. George spoke a few words to the nursing students.
During this camp the first year ACC students collected Rs.500 each and with that money they brought all the required articles and food grains for the camp. The work was divided among the students, who cooked and worked in the garden as it was also an environment camp. All the students enjoyed the camp to the full and gave themselves generously for the work entrusted to them. Every day the students cooked different dishes and they were judged by the sisters and accordingly points were allotted to them. We also held different competitions on different days like Rangoli, Drawing, Hairstyle, Street play and Essay writing.
On the last day we concluded with a closing ceremony through the blessings of the Holy Eucharist. Rev. Fr. Vishwas Pereira, SDB was the main celebrant. He shared several inspiring messages with the ACC students.
At the end we distributed the prizes to the students who had done well in the competitions and were generous in their self giving for the camp.Sr. Teresa Plathara, the Animator of our community gave away the certificates and Sir Suhas K, A P.T. teacher of Auxilium gave away the trophy to the winners. Every one enjoyed the camp and learnt a lot of useful things of daily living.
