Guest Lecture by Col. Arun Moghe & Mrs. Mohini Moghe

Date: 24 / 07/ 12 (Wednesday)

Today we started our day on a wonderful mission of taking action on the social cause of helping orphans in connection to our CAS. We were guided by two selfless human beings, Mr. & Mrs. Moghe who is dedicated towards this noble and very touchy cause through their organisation named Kutumbam. We were deeply moved and touched by the simplicity, concern and warm heartedness of the teachers towards these special kids. They start their day with a smile on their faces and end it with a broader smile, peace and content when they see that they have given a family, a home, acceptance, recognition and education to those who don’t have these.  And believe me, after seeing the video footage of Kutumbam, it won’t be exaggeration, if I say that the kids at the organisation are happy and contended as well. They look completely in sync with the teachers as a family. There is no discrimination, no barrier of any sorts on their freedom of expressions and knowledge.  We were overwhelmed by their presentation. We have learnt that there are many small ways and means by which we can help these kids towards a better future. It’s not only money; it’s the concern and awareness towards this cause which will make a difference in the society. I am sure we all have definitely made a promise to ourselves that we would do something for these kids in whatever possible way we can.

Kutumbam is an organisation where such kids get education till the age of 14. They get healthy food, tuitions, playtime and of course overall self development opportunity. After 14 yrs of age they get vocational training in various courses depending on their interest and capability so that by the age of 18 they become financially independent and self reliant. 

We really enjoyed our visit to the OIS on 25 July 2012. I am certain that some awareness has got created among the children about the problems which poor orphans face and what one can do about it.

Thanks a ton for this awareness creation campaign. It is being done at the right time.

With best wishes to all the teachers and the students,
