REPORT

The students of 2^nd BBC and the faculty of Biochemistry have done an outreach activity. As a part of this they volunteered to donate groceries for the 60 sisters living in a church of rakshna giri. The students have donated rice, wheat flour, oil, soya balls, soaps, surf etc for the sisters who have limited sources of income. They make bread and raise money from that. They do not come outside and live there only as they have committed their lives for the God. The sisters felt very happy seeing the students and prayed for them, for their education and prosperity.

We thank the management of SJCW for their support. Special thanks to Raju sir and Mr Uday of physics for accompanying us.

The first year ad second year BBC students participated in the outreach activity. It was an activity in which they had to prepare soap and distribute it along with some clothes which are left used in their home at the end of the year as a part of Pre-Christmas celebrations. The students prepared soap by saponifying coconut oil in the lab using NaOH by head method and this was left for 24hour (from 21^st afternoon to 22^nd evening) and then packed in butter paper. This was wrapped along with clothes and some biscuits in paper and distributed in the areas of Gnanpuram road side people, 8^th platform of railway station and station road. Many abandoned old people were seen and the homeless people were given by the students.

Total number of students- 2^nd year’s- 20, first years- 28.
