Happy New Year. As I spoke to you before Christmas about visiting the children's home in Goa. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent with the children. I was so impressed with their courtesy and manners. I took stationary, pens, pencils, sharpners etc and some food as it was Christmas. To my surprise as I was about to give the gifts, the children made one single file without being told, neither did they push or get hyper. They all thanked myself and my family and asked me if they could sing some christmas carols.

During the month the staff and the children were busy preparing for the Christmas Season. They have also been waiting excitingly for the fast approaching New year, 2010.

As the girls had finished their exams, they were busy preparing for the Christmas Season and so also enjoying their Christmas holidays. The girls were eagerly waiting for the Christmas and the New Year. Some of them participated in the Christmas party held at Shanti Niketan School. The House was beautifully decorated by the Girls and staff making the House look very welcoming.
