The Chief Guest Fr. Edwin through his speech motivated the children to use their talents for the improvement of their village and encouraged the parents to educate their children, a message that was well applauded for.
This was indeed a red letter day for both the villages since it was the first time such an event was held in their locality. The community day was an instrument in bringing two villages together under one roof. This is the new endeavour that BGVK is launching through such activities to build brotherhood and communion among the villages.
