Greetings one n all,
It gives me immense pleasure to update you on the latest development on account of the flood situation n Kolhapur & adjoining cities.
St. Xavier’s High School, Kolhapur with its Alumni recognised as “XESAKOP” (St. Xavier’s Ex-Students Association-Kolhapur) was approached by St. Vincent’s High School, Alumni VOBA that’s the Vincentian Old Boys Association-Pune was keen to assist in any which way, We were given to understand by Mr. Praveen Solanki, Treasure of XESAKOP that they were in need of essential commodities for which a list was shared with us, VOBA was very keen in helping XESAKOP as it comes under the preview of the Pune Province and sanctioned an amount of Rs. 10,000/- for purchases towards their requirements
The appeal was also shared amongst all Vincentians and members of society and amongst our near and dear ones, we were blessed as many came forward with their contribution in kind.
I would like to share a few pictures right from it’s surveying, to purchasing, to repacking, to Loading and dispatching with the assistance of Rev. Fr. Andrew Fernandes SJ, Provincial of the Pune Province, Rev. Fr. Joe D’Souza SJ, Socius to the Provincial & Director, St. Josephs’s Technical Institute (SJTI), with the support of Rev. Fr. Francis Patekar SJ, Principal, St. Vincent’s High School & Junior College, Ex-Officio, VOBA and Rev. Fr. Vikram Shingare SJ, Vice Principal, St. Vincent’s High School, Pune.
