It is said, ‘Count the memories, not the calories’, and for sure the calorie count for children and adults went out of the door, as they made their tummies happy with the traditional food served by the supporting staff. Playing in the rain, especially in the fields was such joy. Likewise for a day of fun in the lush green and brown tinted sludge fields of Perampalli.

We the trinitarians believe that the family that prays eats and plays together stays together. True to this fact, indeed it was a valuable and fun filled experience.
