In honour of the world day of the poor which was celebrated on 19 November, we at Laura Vicuna Niwas, Ahmednagar, invited the children from the Pardhi tribe to our convent on 24 November.
They belong to an institution named the Ujwal children’s home and were accompanied by the volunteers and the head of the Institute. We welcomed them with a song, dance and conducted games and action songs followed by a small talk by Sr. Collette Gonsalves on the importance of education and the need to be faithful to duties, obedient to their elders and grateful for all they receive. This institute is trying their best to help the children stand on their own feet through education.
A sumptuous dinner was served followed by prize distribution and gifts were given to each child. The children and volunteers were grateful and appreciated this kind gesture of the sisters.
