The program started with the Holy Eucharist presided by Fr. S. Maria Arul CMF. After the Holy Mass all gathered in the media hall and all the participants introduced themselves.  Fr. S. Maria Arul CMF illuminated the children and the youth about the salient facts about our Congregation and our founder. He also spoke about the nature of Claret Nivas and mentioned about our purpose of this gathering. Then Bros. Donal Christy CMF and Kirishanth gave input on “Setting a Goal in life” and “how to be happy and avoiding laziness.” They used many input methods like games, interaction, group works, group discussion etc. that the children would gain fully from the inputs. After the lunch they had a course on “Leadership Management” with several group activities and games. Through this they were given inputs such as, how to be a leader in a group and how to work as a group in order to achieve the assigned Goal. And then they had some common games to give knowledge about leading others in a correct path and supporting others to come up in their lives. We terminated the program around 3.00 pm with tea.

The children and youth were happy and satisfied about the entire program of the day which they expressed through an evaluation. And they also expressed their desire to have this program in the coming years without fail.
