CELEBRATIONS IV V CELEBRATIONS EDITORIAL The annual school magazine, Celebrations is a platform for students to showcase their numerous creative abilities, be it poetry or painting in front of an audience and readers. It unleashes for the students a wide spectrum of creative skills that also is involved designing the magazine. This magazine is like a mirror which reflects some sorts of activities undertaken by the Desalites. We are hopeful that this small piece of literary work will not only develop the taste for reading and writing but also develop a sense of belongingness to the institution as well. To make this magazine special we tried to provide the paintings and drawings of the students related to the field. The editorial team is highly thankful to the students for Fr. George Thomas MESSAGE their creative task to make this magazine lively. Principal The crux of the goal of the Desalite education is to be Catalyst of Social Transformation, votaries of We thank all who have extended their help to bring out the magazine. National Integration and Ambassadors of Universal Brotherhood. This simple but powerful words speak about the goal, purpose, life, vision and mission of a desalite. With the emergence of modern means of communications such as high-speed aviation and transportation sector, internet, mobile phones, social networking sites etc., the world has truly been smaller and the gap that exist between nations, cultures and languages are narrowing down. So, the question arises, is it time for a world government and a universal democracy? For a vast majority the answer could be that, it is a great idea, whose time has not yet arrived. And let it be so.

But the idea of creating a universal brotherhood is not new at all. The idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the famous Sanskrit phrase found in Maha Upanishad simply speaks that “the world is one family”. This is a very lovely, inspiring, ancient and Indian concept that can broaden the thinking and perspective of the people at large. Just imagine of a time, where in people of all cultures, religions, caste and creed, languages and nationalities live in peace and harmony, respecting each other and celebrating diversity. This definitely is not an impossibility though difficult and challenging.

Every desalite is part of an international organization. A desalite passed out from a Fransalian institution can be found in any part of the world which itself is nurturing the idea of universal brotherhood from childhood itself. At SFS Narengi, we sow the seed of universal brotherhood at every sphere of activity. Be it academic, co-curricular activity, the idea of Universal Brotherhood never escapes our pedagogy and educational initiatives. We instil the idea of global education believing firmly that 21st century learners need to think beyond the idea of barriers that separate humanity. Global education leading to universal brotherhood is a creative approach of bringing about change in our society. It is an active learning process based on the universal values of tolerance, solidarity, equality, justice, inclusion, co-operation and non-violence.

As you begin to turn the pages of CELEBRATIONS 2018, you shall find that variety, is the essence of this edition. Be it articles, photographs, drawings, graphics etc, diversity is encouraged positively, solely with the purpose of encouraging the learners for the future to respect and accept each other. My sincere appreciation to the school management, editorial board, respected teachers, and friendly students for this edition of the celebration. It is the fruit of their hard work and creativity. Happy reading to one and all.

God bless SFS Editorial Team
