PROTECTING THE OZONE, PROMOTING PEACE AUXILIUM BARODA – 16TH SEPTEMBER 2026

Another meaningful initiative was undertaken by Sr. Priya Tauro the school administrator and the sisters to extend the message of peace beyond the school community to the van and rickshaw drivers. A special “Peace Basket” was prepared, containing chits with simple initiatives to promote peace in everyday life. Each driver picked a chit and pledged to practise peace and spread it within their families, neighbourhoods and the wider community. Ms. Heena Parmar, Gujarati Medium Supervisor, addressed the drivers and highlighted the importance of living peacefully, resolving conflicts amicably and becoming agents of peace in their daily lives.

The observance concluded with a powerful reminder that peace begins with each one of us and grows through our words, actions and relationships. Through the active participation of students, Sisters and school staff, Auxilium Baroda reaffirmed its commitment to building a culture of peace, where kindness, respect and understanding become a way of life.

Through these two meaningful observances, Auxilium Baroda reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing environmentally conscious, compassionate and responsible young citizens who can contribute towards a greener planet and a more peaceful world.

Auxilium Baroda believes that true education extends beyond textbooks and classrooms, inspiring students to become responsible citizens who care for the environment and contribute to a peaceful society. In September 2026, students observed World Ozone Day and International Peace Day, spreading awareness about environmental protection, harmony and mutual respect.
