On 26^th November 2017, the community of Bandel celebrated the first world day of the poor. To mark this day the community decided to share the food items to the under privilege oratory children at Rajhat. Sr.Elizabeth Valliyil along with Srs. Jancy Pulickyathottil, Sosan Minj, and  Prema Francis set out to the village in the afternoon.

As usual the students were waiting for the arrival of the sisters; their joy was doubled on seeing four of us at the oratory. The children were divided into different groups and conducted various games and songs dedicated to Jesus which taught the students to keep away from sin by keeping themselves busy at all times.  As the day coincides with the feast of Christ the King, Sr. Sosan Minj gave them talk on the feast. She said that only a humble and simple person is worthy to enter into God’s kingdom through a meaningful story. She also exhorted them to value the importance of parents in their lives.

The hallmark of the function was distribution of food items to thirty children who are regular to the oratory. The items included rice, potatoes, dal and a few packets of Maggie noodles. At the end, we all applauded the students for their faithfulness in coming to the oratory and we wished a better future. The celebration ended with a thanksgiving song.
