Annual Day-Kammarlapalli
As the academic year draws to a close, annual day celebrations were organized across all our adopted schools, one after another. Thimmapur was the first among them to host this much-awaited event, followed by Kammarlapalli. For every student, the annual day marks a memorable and cherished occasion — the culmination of a year’s learning and the beginning of a new chapter as they move to the next grade. The event was celebrated with great enthusiasm, featuring a vibrant lineup of performances that filled the day with joy and excitement.
The program’s chief guest was Director Mangalampalli Raju, who delivered an inspiring address that resonated deeply with students and parents alike. His speech highlighted the importance of education and extracurricular activities in shaping young minds and acknowledged the organization’s ongoing efforts to support holistic student development.
A total of 430 parents attended the event, reflecting their strong interest and encouragement toward their children’s growth. Their active participation — cheering, applauding, and appreciating each performance — added warmth and energy to the celebration.
The students presented around 23 performances, showcasing their talents across diverse activities such as folk, western, and classical dances, yoga demonstrations, and thought-provoking dramas carrying meaningful messages. Each performance was thoughtfully choreographed and meticulously rehearsed, reflecting the dedication and teamwork of both students and teachers.
The annual day served as a valuable platform for students to display their talents and gain confidence. The positive feedback and encouragement from parents and guests further motivated the students to pursue their passions with renewed enthusiasm and strive for excellence in the future.
Earth Foundation Anniversary Celebrations
This year marks twelve successful years since the inception of Earth Foundation, an organization dedicated to uplifting rural India by empowering students — the future of our nation. Over these twelve years, the Foundation has adopted numerous schools and implemented a variety of programs aimed at the holistic development of children. One notable initiative is the Mothers Awareness Program (MAP), designed to educate and engage mothers in their children’s academic and personal growth.
A large number of people have contributed to the Foundation’s journey over the years. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental in transforming ideas into impactful actions. While ideas form the foundation, it is the unwavering commitment of volunteers and staff that truly brings them to life.
On this special occasion, the Foundation took the opportunity to honor its long-time volunteers who have dedicated their time and effort to its mission. Each was presented with an Earth Foundation wall clock as a token of appreciation for their invaluable service. Additionally, the adopted schools were recognized for their continued partnership and contributions toward the shared vision of educational excellence.
The celebration fostered a strong sense of connection among volunteers, schools, and students. Across all adopted schools, the day was marked with cake cutting ceremonies and distribution of wall clocks, symbolizing gratitude, unity, and growth. The event concluded with renewed enthusiasm and a shared commitment to expand Earth Foundation’s reach — adopting more schools and launching new programs to further the overall development of children in rural India.
Pada puja to mothers.
Mothers play an irreplaceable role in shaping their children’s future. Their love, care, and sacrifices lay the foundation for a child’s growth and success. Such individuals truly deserve recognition and appreciation for their endless efforts. Often, children see their mothers only as caretakers — fulfilling their needs and managing household responsibilities. However, it is essential for every child to look beyond that, to understand their mother as a person, to respect her, to acknowledge her sacrifices, and to express heartfelt gratitude.
To honor this bond, the organization introduced a beautiful and meaningful initiative — Mother Foot Worship. As part of this event, students from 5th and 10th grades participated enthusiastically. They embraced the spirit of the occasion, showing respect and affection toward their mothers in a deeply emotional gesture.
The program turned out to be a touching success. Many mothers were moved to tears of joy, overwhelmed by their children’s display of love and gratitude. The event not only celebrated the selfless spirit of motherhood but also helped students internalize the importance of respecting and cherishing their mothers every day.
Mobile Science Lab
The Mobile Science Lab is designed for high school students and is rotated among the adopted schools at regular intervals of 45 days. This innovative initiative provides students with access to various scientific apparatus and experiment kits, allowing them to engage in hands-on learning and deepen their understanding of scientific concepts. During this month, the Mobile Science Lab was stationed at Velkatoor High School, Siddipet. Students enthusiastically conducted physics experiments related to electricity, voltage, and the use of ammeters, and also explored microscopic observations using the microscope. As physics can often be challenging when studied only through theory, the lab offers a valuable opportunity for practical experience. Students are making full use of this facility and are gaining significant knowledge and confidence through their active participation in the experiments.
Computer Classes
As part of the Skills Development Program, computer classes have been progressing well, with students showing great enthusiasm and quick learning ability. Since the academic year is coming to an end, this month’s focus has been on revision and practice. Students revisited all the topics covered during the year and practiced them thoroughly to strengthen their understanding.
Through consistent practice, they are gaining a solid grasp of the subject and developing the confidence to apply their skills independently in various contexts. Most of the practice sessions centered around Microsoft Word and Excel, as these applications play a crucial role in managing and analyzing different types of data.
The students of Class 2 participated in a creative seed craft activity. For this activity, they collected seeds from various plants and used them to create beautiful designs by sticking them onto paper in different shapes and patterns. As they are primary students, their creations focused on alphabets, numbers, and basic shapes, allowing them to connect what they learned in the classroom with hands-on art. This integration of learning and creativity is a wonderful reflection of their growing curiosity and developing minds. The activity also encouraged interaction among students and teachers, enhancing their coordination, creativity, and presentation skills while making learning fun and engaging.
Drawing
Drawing is one of the key activities we encourage among our students. They regularly practice drawing under the guidance of volunteers and consistently produce creative and meaningful artwork. This time, students created inspiring drawings on the current and important theme of Elections. Their artwork beautifully conveyed a powerful message — that every eligible citizen should cast their vote and fulfill their responsibility toward the nation. It was truly inspiring to see such thoughtful messages emerging from young minds, reflecting their growing awareness and sense of civic duty through art.
