Extension Activities Center (NSS, YRC & RRC)
Our Extension Activity centre visited the UNIVERSAL PEACE HOME Orphanage on
28th
December, 2015 at 11.00 am. Students of our college were accompanied by Technical
Director (SNS Institution), Dr.N.GUNASEKARAN (Principal SNSCE) and Extension Activity
Programme Officers SNSCE. All of us were deeply touched when we received a warm welcome
from all the students and Brothers/Sisters of the orphanage. There were 161 students, 70 mentally
challenged people and 26 destitute women, 34 Parents neglected by the children, who were
jumping with joy as we interacted with them. The time spent with those peoples made us feel
overwhelmed. The way the children mingled with us, played games and enjoyed music was an
enriching experience for life. We donated foods, biscuits, chocolates, snacks, etc. The children
were happier than one could possibly imagine, it was a riot of happiness.This was amongst one of
those moments that we can never describe. It was memorable, meaningful and a redeeming
morning for all present. The eyes and the smiles of children will linger in our heart for all times to
come.All students felt entrenched with the joy of giving and thus we express our deep sense of
gratitude to the college for arranging this journey towards humanity.All of us are so lost in this
fanciful world of opulence that we hardly seem to notice the other half of deprivation. We have
all the luxuries, yet we always crave for more and more. When we saw this child in Orphanage,
we realized how fortunate we really are. The quote to remember so aptly comes from
UNIVERSAL PEACE HOME herself – “Live with for Peace”.
