Dear Reader (s) Greetings to you The simple path silence is prayer, prayer is faith, faith is love and love is service, the fruit of service is Peace.

Very few fully realize the wealth of sympathy, benevolence, kind-ness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every educator should be to unlock that treasure. As it is rightly said that “It is better to be a man of values than a man of suc-cess.” So I feel working for community service is a noble act which penetrates deep inside our soul. The initiative drive in the form of Roti Bank, where Roti and vegetable is donated for the under-privileged children has created a milestone. I just want to urge that we must join our hands for the upliftment of the community as ‘A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.’ Cheers for all the victories and wishes for

all the sweeps yet to come!

the supermarket or writing a little note to a friend, giving a little gift or

stopping to help a stranger, it may seem little to you but to someone

else it might just make their day. So it is rightly said that no act of
