Yet another batch of 20 students accompanied by Associate Professor Sandra Lobo, visited St. Antony Charity Institutes from 1:30 pm to 3:00 p.m. Rev Father Thrishan  D’Souza accompanied the group and showed the various homes, poultry, candle making unit, tailoring unit, piggery, kitchen that caters to feeding 400 inmates etc.

The students entertained 40 female inmates with a medley of catchy Konkani, hindi and Malayalam songs. They gave a dance performance as well. Games were conducted. Some of the inmates gave performances – songs and dances.  

All the three visits were an exercise to introspect and appreciate stages of life besides expressing solidarity with the elderly and destitutes in particular. Communitarian spirit was evoked and students engaged in works of charity.
