A Heartfelt Visit to Assisi Deaf School

A Heartfelt Visit to Assisi Deaf School


On Wednesday night, our miss left the group after reminding us that we would visit the deaf school the next day. This visit was part of our studies, as we had a chapter related to it. Though it was meant to be an academic visit, we were really looking forward to it. That night, miss asked our group if everyone was ready, but honestly, none of us seemed very interested at first. However, everything was already planned and arranged that very night. Still, it felt as if we weren’t fully prepared, and we simply said, “See you all tomorrow.”


The next morning, dressed neatly in our uniforms with tags on, I was about to leave after breakfast when miss sent me a message asking if everything was okay. Not really knowing what to say, I replied with a smile, “Everything is set. We’re on our way.”


When miss saw us all together, the first thing she said was that we looked beautiful — all of us in uniform with our tags. Then we boarded the bus to Valanchery and got off in front of Assisi Deaf School. We walked in excitedly, and the teachers and students were already waiting for us. After a short conversation, we began visiting the classes.


We interacted most with the sixth graders. Since they couldn’t speak, one of the sisters there helped by translating what they wanted to say. We played games with them to make the session more engaging. They told us that they liked Maths the most, so we gave them some Maths-related games, along with a few others just for fun. We also gave them candies, which made them really happy.


Among them, I noticed a little girl with beautiful, special eyes. She was studying in the first grade. All the children there were incredibly strong, cheerful, and talented. We were truly amazed by the way they communicated and expressed themselves.


After spending some time with them and distributing sweets, our teacher presented an orientation class for the students. While miss was conducting the session, we noticed that the school also had a band class for the children. The school and its surroundings were very beautiful to see. During the orientation, we took some photos and videos to remember the moments.


After the session, we all returned happily, sharing stories and experiences from the visit. It was a truly beautiful experience — one that will always be remembered with joy.

Depression: The Silent Struggle

 Depression: The Silent Struggle In today’s fast-paced world, mental health issues are becoming increasingly common. Among them, depression stands out as one of the most misunderstood and overlooked conditions. While many people associate depression with mere sadness, it is much more than that. It is a complex mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, regardless of age, gender, or background.

Causes of Depression Depression can be caused by a combination of factors, including: Biological Factors: An imbalance of chemicals in the br...

The Exclusive Two-Member Classroom

 The Exclusive Two-Member Classroom Most people imagine a classroom filled with chatter, rows of occupied desks, and the constant hum of group discussions. In my case, the reality is very different—there are only two students in my class. Yes, just two. At first, it felt unusual, almost like walking into an empty theatre for a movie. But soon, I began to see how unique and meaningful this experience could be. 1. No Back Bench Drama With only two students, there’s no concept of “back benchers.” Every seat is the front row, and every question from the teacher comes straight to us. It means we can’t disappear into the crowd and our presence is always felt. 2. Teacher’s Undivided Attention In most classrooms, teachers have to divide their focus among dozens of students. Here, the teaching feels almost like a one-on-one conversation. The teacher notices exactly where we struggle, and explanations can be adjusted instantly to suit our pace. 3. Faster and Deeper Learning Without a large g...

Ramadan: A Month of Fasting and Blessings

 Ramadan: A Month of Fasting and Blessings     Ramadan is the holiest month for Muslims around the world. It is a special time for fasting, prayer, and becoming closer to God. During this month, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, meaning they do not eat or drink during the day. The fast starts with suhoor (a pre-dawn meal) and ends with iftar (a meal at sunset), often beginning with dates and water.     Fasting is not just about food; it also teaches patience, kindness, and self-control. Muslims spend more time praying, reciting the Quran, and helping the poor by giving charity. Many people gather together with family and friends to complete their fast together, making Ramadan a time of togetherness and community.     At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a joyful festival with special prayers, delicious meals, and giving almost to those in need. Ramadan is a month of blessings, reflection, and becoming a better person. Thank You ...
