Activities :

The month of January reminds us of Charity carnival.  To  bring awareness  `about the existing world and  difficulties faced by children , and also to  experience the joy of helping  others in need ,we visited ‘VIDIYAL’ at Aalangulam. Vidiyal means DAWN. – a place where the abandoned, thrown away ,innocent babies are taken care of  . We arranged for ‘Food carnival’ and with the help of the donations in cash and kind, we were able to raise Rs. 60,000/-.Things were bought as per the need of ‘Vidiyal’. The children realized how blessed they were as they compared themselves with the infants left alone. Tears rolled from the eyes of children.

As ‘Dengue fever is rolling around as a monster, a medical camp was arranged. The causes and prevention of Dengue was clearly told and homeopathy medicines were given.

The Annual day was celebrated on 19th February 2013.Rev.Dr.Joe Arun s.j, Rev.Sr.Annamary Paapu c.i.c , Rev.Fr.Joseph Johnson were the guests of honour.
