The community sisters at Kalyani had a happy day out for a picnic to Monsada. We set out at 8.a.m. in our vehicle, and flew like a jet on the smooth roads as we journeyed along through fresh vegetable markets and squares, green fields and small villages, singing, joking and praying too all the way long. At a point on the road we had a very bad odor…holding our breath and noses impatiently. Just then Sr. Margaret blurted out ‘This is Self Love!’ We all burst out in a nonstop of great laughter! On reaching Monsada, the little boarders and sisters gave us a warm and hearty welcome with song and offering us flowers. It was a happy and long awaited joy of both the communities coming as one family. A sumptuous and delicious meal prepared by the community of Monsada  is worth mentioning greatly after which we had “dumb shards’” played, each having to do a forfeit, that made us happy and laugh to one’s contentment. We left the premises thanking profusely Sr. Valsa and the community of Monsada for making this day an enjoyable and happy one for us sisters at Kalyani. We thanked the Lord for favoring us with good weather and his blessings throughout  this day out.

On 15 November 2014, 150 class VIII students of Auxilium Convent School Dum Dum, visited the Birla Institute Technological Museum (BITM) accompanied by Sr. Karuna Kanchan Bara and 4 teachers. It was a picnic cum Educational Tour. The Mathematics, Life Science, Biotechnology, Metals, Fascinating Physics, Television, Popular Science and a  high resolution 3D film on great wall of China rejuvenated the students. The Mock up Coal Mine brought the students to the unknown absorbing and unique facts of the subterranean world and the only one of its kind in India. They got a rear and firsthand experience of all facts.

The Students also were fortunate enough to be the part of the inaugural progrmme of “Parallel Nippon: Contemporary Japanese Architecture 1996-2006.”. The BITM provided enjoyable and learning experiences through models to the students.
