Christmas Celebration

It is a real Christmas Joy. The whole institution came together to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The children prepared a beautiful Christmas progamme. "Salam Malekum" Peace be with you is resounded everywhere. The children know that this can be used by everyone and this was taught to the children by Fr Robert who gave the Christmas messge on the occasion. Children listened very attentively what he had to say. Children were so happy because when they went back they had Kuswar to munch. After the celebration with the chilren we had a celebration for the family members of our staff. It started with some cultural events like games and Fr John organised delicious dinner at Prerana.
