discussions on some subjects that need to be discussed

especially in the COVID-19 era. The students learned

important values of munificence and sharing.

CARE FOR ANIMALS

JOY OF GIVING

We all know how great it feels to receive

gifts. Our lives are richer when we share,

and that great inner joy comes from helping

others to better their lives. Truly giving from

the heart fills your life with joy and

nourishes your soul. Giving provides an

intrinsic reward that‟s far more valuable

than the gift. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “To find yourself, lose yourself in the service

of others.”
