8C Out-Reach Programme

On the morning of 5th October 2024, our class, 8C headed for our annual outreach programme to the RTC hostel in St. Joseph girls high school premises. Our principal, Sr. Alpana had provided us with a variety of provisions and groceries to give to the orphanage. After our prayers, we headed towards the orphanage by bus.

On arrival, we were welcomed by the heart-warming greetings of the students there. Sr. Annu escorted our class to a gathering of 85 students who were orphans present from the age group of 6-16 years, with their enigmatic and cheerful smiles. After exchanging salutations and becoming familiar with us they felt free to express themselves by singing and speaking of how their life at the hostel is. Sr. Annu made us aware on how to help such under privileged children.

We then distributed snacks and stationary to them which they accepted with expressions of joy. We were also allowed to take glimpses of their dorm rooms which were extremely neat and clean despite them having to be completely independent which also inspired us to follow their footsteps in being hygienic and independent. Sr. Annu who was in charge of the hostel extended her gratitude to our principal Sr. Alpana for the noble cause.

We then clicked a few photographs for memories and headed back to the bus to return whereas the children went to their classes to continue their classes as per their normal schedules. While heading back we had new found knowledge and realization on how lucky we all are to be living such blessed lives. We also bear gratitude in our hearts towards, Sr. Alpana for providing such an enlightening opportunity to see and understand the world, and our teachers Mrs. Latha and Mrs. Neha for safely guiding us throughout the event.
