ST JOSEPH'S STAFF VISITS CHALLAKERE

Infant Jesus School was honoured by the visit of 20 members of St. Jospeh's staff. They left Bajpe at 3 pm and arrived here at 3 am. The driver of the vehicle was painfully slow in driving and therefore they arrived very late. Br Hector and Fr George waited anxiously for them. They were very tired when arrived here. They were put up in Father's and the Brothers' houses. In the morning they had breakfast in school and the catholic staff joined us for the mass. At 10.30am, we went to Vani Vilasa Dam and a botanical garden in Hiriyur. We had lunch in Hiriyur and then we proceeded to Chitradurga. We visited Don Bosco school where I teach part time. The principal of ICSE, Fr Arulappa welcomed us and gave a cup of tea and biscuits. They have a beautiful chapel in North Indian temple style!!! Then we went to see the famous Chitradurga Fort. The fort is really beautiful and the teachers enjoyed the visit for historical fort especially coming through onake Obavva's Kindi. Thank God, Onake Obavva was not there. Otherwise, 21 of us would have either been dead or had broken heads!!!. Even though the kindi was small, all managed to fit into it.I was the tour guide. All the staff of Infant Jesus High school and the staff of Bajpe had a studpendous dinner in the Brothers' House. The dinner was prepared by the staff of Infant Jesus High School. They left Challakere at 10.30p.m. I want to thank Mrs Babitha, Mr Basavaraj, Mr Prasanna, Mr Maju

and Br Maurice for helping me out in making this tour a success. We also thank Fr Geogrge, the manager of the school for giving accomodation to our staff.(more photos will be uploaded soon)
