We were honoured by the visit of 10 respected senior citizens from the Highlanders club, Darjeeling . They were briefed and conducted around the school to see the children at work and play. They wrote:-

“Thank you for having us here and showing us around the school. This tour has been a privilege and an opener in many ways. We are truly impressed and most touched by what we have seen and experienced. God bless the General, the Head teachers, all the teachers and volunteers who are touching the lives of the children in a wonderfully magical way to transform their lives. The experiential learning program is particularly impressive. Well done all! God bless the little ones and may their time at “Awake and Shine” help them blossom into a learning experience for life. We’ve been delighted to see happy teachers and most importantly, HAPPY CHILDREN”.
