BalaMela 2009

“The Kingdom of God belongs to little Children.” Every weekend, the novices go for Saturday Ministry to different places (Home for the Elderly, Bosco Mane - for street children, Loyola Primary School, Loyola High School, Loyola ITI, visit the schools and the people in Mylasandra, Hulla Halli, Laxmipura, Hakki Pikki Colony, Hulimavu and Silendranadoddi) to render their service to the school children, street children, tribal children and the elderly. As part of the ministry they conduct the Balamela for the children in their respective places. Through the creative initiative of the novices, Balamela-2009 was conducted smoothly on the 14^th of February. This activity aroused a lot of fun and frolic. The enthusiasm of the children knew no bounds when they actively participated with eagerness and true team spirit in all the games and the other activities that were a part of the show. The staff members of the schools assisted the novices in the overall organization. This event has indeed made us to touch the lives of many children and helped us strike a chord of happiness in their poverty-stricken and misery-soaked lives. The tiny tots were bubbling with joy to receive the gifts at the end of the day. It was an experience that has made everyone happy. Truly a memorable day dedicated to the children.
