A letter to the Headmaster by Abraham Lincoln In school teach him, it is far more honourable to fail than to cheat ... Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.... Teach him to be gentle with gentle people ... Try to give him the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon.... Teach him to listen to all men but teach him to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.... Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him because only the test of fire makes fine steel..... Let him have the courage to be impatient... let him have the patience to be brave.. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself becaue then he will always have sublime faith in mankind." This, we endeavour to teach all our children in the school

V A S A N T H A    S H I B I R A - 2 0 0 5 This summer was really colourful as the Mission conducted a camp named Vasantha Shibira-2005. The children really opened up enthusiastically to various activities bundled in. Many well known resource persons were involved in the camp. Many theatrical activities namely Maime, Street Play, Singing, Acting, Craft work, painting etc.and what not were wonderfully conducted by our Manju - wellknown Art Director. Bhajans, Vedic chanting, Yoga etc. were made successful by Swami Hridanandaji. Few snaps are shown below.

Sunday Vivekananda Balaka Sangha - a religio-cultural forum wherein the children are taught sanskrit slokas, chanting etc. is slowly attracting more and more children.

For a year, you can sponsor a child’s education or mid-day meal or school books or the teacher’s salary. You can also contribute to the annual school day activities, prizes, school infrastructure, educational tours etc. Yes, your contribution will directly go into making an impact on the foundations of tomorrow’s society in these villages. A very healthy society at that, given the world we live in!
