Team Pragathi Pays Tribute to Mother Teresa
“Happiness
is not so much in having as sharing.
We make a
living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

Dear
Parent,
Team Pragathi is glad to announce ‘The Joy Of Giving Fortnight’ from 26/08/15
to 08/09/15 to commemorate the life
of Mother Teresa who was born on 26th August, 1910 and died on 5th
September,1997.
During
this period children are encouraged to bring old clothes, old toys, old story
books (which are in good condition for someone else to use) to hand over to the
less fortunate at various orphanages, old-age homes and for the destitute. Remember parents, children worked on a
‘Clutter-Free Home’ Life skills module? All the old clothes, toys etc which
were sorted for “Give Away” can be used now for donation. This is NOT compulsory. Only the interested may donate.
Special
assembly was conducted on Mother Teresa for the students of VI to X today. Also
a brief chronology of notable events in Mother Teresa's life, a series of memorable photos of her life and work
through a Photo Essay, excerpts of her interviews and some of her quotes will
be presented in the class during this fortnight.
Visits
to orphanages, old-age homes and near-by slums are in the pipeline to
personally handover the stock to the needy.
Student
volunteers along with a committee of teachers has been set-up to collect and
sort out the goods. Parents and children are instructed to hand over the stuff
according to the below given dates to the respective class teachers who in turn
will hand over the same to the In charges concerned.

them that matters." – Mother Teresa
