Description: International Women’s Day was organised in Loreto Convent Delhi Cantt., on March 8, 2018 and the ladies from the neighbouring Jharera village were invited to celebrate this day with us. The enthusiastic guests were warmly welcomed by all the teachers and the Principal. Addressing the gathering, Sr. Archana applauded the selfless commitment of those present as anchors of their respective families and effective members of the society. She also felicitated guest speakers and the special invitees of past pupils from Loreto St. Agnes, Major General Sagarika Patiyal, from Loreto Simla, Tara Hall, Dr. Shalya Anand, from Loreto Delhi, Mrs. Saveera Bahl and Ms. Chetna Batra, and Sr. Antoinette Rodrigues the Superior of Loreto Delhi community.
Medical guidance for pre-natal and post-natal care, cancer awareness and dental hygiene was organised for the benefit of these women by Dr. Shriya Gulati and Dr. Neha Singh. A talk on legal awareness was also organised by Ms. Rashmi Bhati to educate them about legal issues.
Besides the valuable discussions some fun filled games were also organised. All women enjoyed the day with their enthusiastic participation in a series of races and interactive games which brought forth their competitive streak and had them vying for prizes. This was a break from their usual routine of household chores and brought much happiness, enjoyment and relaxation for all.
After refreshments, a gift of essentials in the form of toothpaste, toothbrush and a packet of sugar along with calcium and iron tablets were distributed and was much appreciated.
International Women’s Day was indeed celebrated meaningfully, keeping to the vision of our foundress Venerable Mary Ward, that women in time to come will do much.
