IDF felicitates New Horizon Schoolteam

Airoli based New Horizon Public School did excellent work supporting humanitarian causes under the banner of Indian Development Foundation. The students of New Horizon School took part in the leprosy and TB awareness campaigns in a massive scale. In addition to health awareness programmes, the young tiny tots also mobilised voluntary resources from the society for the benefit of poor leprosy patients.

Dr. Narayan B. Iyer, National Co-ordinator of Indian Development Foundation congratulated the New Horizon Schoolteam for the wonderful participation in nation-building activity. Students participation in social work needs to be written in the letters of gold, Dr. Iyer said. Students have always been in the forefront of social movements and New Horizon School students have set a shining example for others to emulate, Dr. Iyer expressed.

Dr. Narayan B. Iyer was speaking at the Prize Distribution function organised during the morning assembly on Friday the 2nd March 07. Dr. Iyer presented IDF Certificate of Excellence to the Principal Mrs. Bulbul Sengupta. The Vice Principals of the School Mrs. Jyoti Nair (Secondary Section) and Mrs. Wilma D'souza (Primary Section) also joined in receiving the Certificate. 33 students were also awarded with IDF Certificates and special prizes for their excellent performance in social work and resource mobilisation.

Mr. Nicholas Correa, Regional Head of New Horizon Public School expressed his happiness as his students took part in the social programmes benefiting several poor leprosy patients. But for the drop, the ocean cannot be formed, Mr. Correa expressed with a smile.
