Moodubelle, 09 July 2011: Parents – Teacher Association of St. Lawrence P. U. College held meeting at the College hall. The meeting is presided over by Shilpa Nayak – President of Parents – Teacher Association. Chief guest of the occasion was Vincent Alva - English Lecturer Milagres College Kalyanpura. Other guests and dignitaries present on the occasion are Fr. Paul Sequiera - Principal of St. Lawrence P. U. College Moodubelle, Valerian Crasta – Secretaty of Parents – Teacher Association and Precilla Rodregues – Treasurer of Parents – Teacher Association.
The program began with the prayers by the School students. Fr. Paul Sequiera welcomed the guests and the gathering. Valerian Crasta – Secretary of Parents – Teacher Association read out the annual report. Precilla Rodregess – Treasurer of Parents – Teacher Association read out the accounts.
Chief guest Vincent Alva, in his speech said that, those who do not have children look forward to have children, but those who have children say they do not want the children, there is happiness and sorrow. Children are children even if they are poor or billionaires. How much the billionaires love their children? More than that the beggars on the footpath love their children.
I never saw any child playing on the shoulder of a billionaire, but the beggars beg only as much as they need and rest of the time they spend with their children. That means the billionaires look for more millions and stay busy in their business. In the school only education is being taught, but not the training for the life. The training for the life has to be taught at home. The good culture has to be taught by the Parents. Because of shortage of time with the Parents, sometimes they are unable to understand their children, said Vincent Alva.
There is no use blaming the Principal or the Teachers, in the School the children cannot get spoiled. Because the school is a temple. There is God in this holy place. The children learn good or bad at home, he said. Children do not read Bhagavathgeethe, Bible and Quran, but they read the living Bhagavathgeethe, Bible and Quran called Father and Mother. What we do, the same our children will also do, said Vincent Alva.
Shilpa Nayak in her presidential address said that to support and encourage the students who are economically weak, we have arranged financial help. She wished the children to study well, get good job, prosper in their life and some day they can help some other children.
