The Kempe Gowda International Airport Foundation, Bengaluru team, led by CSR Manager Ms. Pratibha Kulkarni, along with 35 schoolteachers of Devanahalli visited Sathya Sai Grama on 12th October 2022.
Kempe Gowda International Airport Foundation have been associated with Annapoorna Trust in serving Morning Nutrition to government school children around Devanahalli taluk in Bengaluru since 2018. Post COVID, the Foundation has come forward to support providing solid breakfast for 855 government school children since June 2022.
The teachers and cooks of the government schools who are part of this Morning Nutrition program from Bettakote, Kannamangala, Ardesnahalli and other nearby locations in Devanahalli came to Sathya Sai Grama for a visit. They were welcomed in the Hridaya Mandiram by Mr. Ashish Bhardwaj, Manager – Operations, CSR Partners and Govt Alliances, Annapoorna Trust and Mr. Anand K Kadali, Trustee & Secretary of Annapoorna Trust. This was followed by a session in which they were given an overview of the NEH (Nutrition, Education and Healthcare) mission and ensuing discussions on moral values in education and transformations through education. After lunch, they were taken on a guided tour of the campus and the hospital.
It was a productive day with enlightening sessions where the team were given awareness on how education imparted to children can be value-based which would certainly lead to transformation, and that would in fact be ‘True Education.’ It was a welcome change and motivation for the teachers as well, to learn about holistic way of transforming children in an ambient environment.
