teaching it to us”. Beautiful, isn‟t it, Wency, to hear these words coming from the young
and innocent!
Br Vally continues to find work for himself. The second computer lab with 25 more
computers has been set up, complete with LAN connections and air-conditioning with
side partitions for the students to work in privacy! With two phases of the building
incomplete, plenty of rainwater used to come in through the corridor and flow down the
stairs. Messy, to say the least! Now, we have awnings made of blue fiberglass to keep the
rain out and at the same time give those portions of the incomplete building a 5-Star look!
If that was not enough, Vally has now set up in the Office a First Aid Box – painted in
bright white enamel paint – fitted on to the wall – three feet by three feet – with little
pigeon holes to hold different types of medication from Savlon to ointments to tablets,
from bandage to band aid. On the inner surface of the door is a list prepared by a doctor
defining the ailment – the dosage to be given for child or adult. Another very professional
touch to a very important aspect of health care
