Visit to The Convent of Jesus and Mary - Sangamner Mission School

Imagen
Human values are fast deteriorating. Love, empathy, kindness etc are giving way to other priorities.  In order to instill awareness and enrich values in our children, St. Joseph High School, Pashan, takes the   initiative to take students to visit missionary schools and orphanages every year.  During one such drive the students and teachers of our school visited the Sangamner Mission School, on the 17 th of February 2018.  Our main aim was to bring about an awareness in our students, and to reach out to the less privileged. We wanted our children to realize that they can be happy and content in any situation and that they should see how these children manage to cope with their lives and excel in their studies at the same time. The first hand experience gave our students: A ‘personal touch’ to their feelings.  Built an intention to ‘WANT’ to reach out to the needy.  A ‘Learning to share ‘, besides sponsoring some poor children to get a good education. The first thing we noticed was the

Empowerment of the girl child

Imagen
Girls today need to be equipped with skills that will help them live in a society where girls and women are treated as second class citizens where women are forced to walk three steps behind a man. Even when attacked or raped they are subjected to unjust questionings and always the cause of the action of men. Girls are therefore trained in Martial Arts so as to face a world where women can defend themselves. And live as citizens on par with men.  ST. ANNE’S HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE CAMP PUNE INDIA

8 de marzo: día de la mujer

Compartimos las palabras de una alumna del Colegio Regina, de Ciudad de México. ¡Muchas gracias, Carmen, por tu mensaje! "Hoy, 8 de marzo puedo decirles lo orgullosa que me siento de ser mujer, de haber crecido alrededor de la influencia y el legado de mujeres que además de haber trasformado el mundo por medio de la educación, lucharon por sus sueños. Todo empezó hace más de 2000 años, cuando una mujer en Nazaret, llamada María, tuvo que enfrentar a la sociedad sin importar lo que fueran a decir de ella, porque estaba esperando el Hijo de Dios; desde esa fortaleza empezó el legado que hoy conocemos como Jesús- María. Desde el principio de los tiempos las mujeres hemos sido oídas como ecos de voces, porque antes se aplicaba la ley del más fuerte físicamente. Actualmente, puedo decirles que ya no es quien tiene más fuerza física, hoy trasciende quien tiene más fuerza de voluntad, más fuerza de alcanzar sus sueños, de luchar por la libertad. En 1792,  nadie creyó que una mujer llamad
