Community service At Ashraya sanketham kalayapuram Day 5

On 18/03/2025, we reached Ashraya at 9:50 AM for the fifth and final day of our visit. The atmosphere was lively, as everyone was prepared to make the most of the concluding day of the program.

From 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, we prepared for the debate session scheduled for later in the day. We discussed our points and structured our arguments to ensure a confident presentation. After that, we helped in cutting stickers for badges, which were to be used during the closing ceremony. This task allowed us to work together and enhance our teamwork skills.

Next, we engaged in a gardening activity. We planted new saplings and cleaned the garden area, which gave us a sense of satisfaction and contributed to the upkeep of the Ashraya premises.

From 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, there was a cultural program presented by the students of Vijaya Nursing College. The event began with a welcome speech by Mr. Kalayapuram Jose, who highlighted the importance of such community engagement programs. The students performed various entertaining and creative acts, which were well-received by the residents and guests. The program concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Mr. Varghese Kurien, who expressed gratitude for the participation and efforts of everyone involved.

After the cultural program, we had lunch. The meal provided a relaxing break and allowed us to reflect on the morning's events.

In the afternoon, we assembled in the general hall for the debate session on the topic All Pass in Exams. The debate was engaging and well-participated, with both sides presenting strong arguments. The session encouraged critical thinking and active participation among all the students.

At 4:00 PM, certificates were distributed to all participants as a token of appreciation for completing the five-day workshop. It was a proud moment for everyone, as the certificates symbolized our hard work and the valuable experiences gained during the program.

The day concluded with tea and snacks, which gave us an opportunity to relax and share our thoughts about the overall experience. We departed for home, feeling accomplished and grateful for the meaningful experiences and lessons learned throughout the five days at Ashraya.
