October 2nd makes the significant moment in the annals of the history of India. This significance was well celebrated in Bethany Convent School,Limboi, Gujarat in a befitting manner. On this day we had inauguration of the computer lab with 14 newly installed computers by Mr Elton Menezes. His family comprising of his wife Ollu and Thea his daughter along with his well-wishers were present for the same. Mr Elton donated all these computers for the intellectual development of the children in the modern digital era. In fact he also sponsored the afternoon mail for all the children.
The significant moment had a grand arrival with the school band welcoming the honorable guest and his team around 11 a.m. in the Bethany Convent School. Then a beautiful, meaningful cultural program followed. Among the different items, the skit on Mahatma Gandhi ji and two speeches on the significance of the day both in Gujarati and English mark the importance of the day. As a school community, we celebrated the birthday of Mr Elton recognising his tremendous services for the welfare of the children by greeting him in words and songs and carving the cake why him.
After the cultural program we proceeded for the inauguration of the computer lab followed by the blessing of this centre by Fr Nelson, the Parish priest of the Our lady of Fatima Church, Limboi. There was joy and gladness everywhere specially in the hearts of children who resolved to give their best in life for all the benefits they receive everyday. Indeed, celebration of Gandhi Jayanti brought peace and good will among all.
