The three member schools of the HUB, BJEM School, Prabhujee English Medium School and DAV Kalinga Nagar were part of the programme. 20 students and four teachers from the member schools visited the Shri Harsha Memorial School for the Deaf in Patia and did several activities. At the outset the students attended the school Assembly and did drill with the special students. Then they played outdoor games together in the playground. Later the students of the HOL member schools played some indoor games mostly educational games. They all watched the movie ‘I am Kalam’ which these special students enjoyed a lot. The participating students distributed biscuits and juices which the teachers of the four schools had carried with them. It was a very meaningful day for all the students when they learnt inclusiveness and how to show their love and fellow feeling towards their counterparts who are not so privileged as them.

The Senior Principal of SAI International School Shri Nilakantha Panigrahi highly appreciated the enthusiasm of all the students and the Principal Secondary of SAI International School, Shri Prakash Sahoo supported by providing educational games and training the SAI International students to play with the Shri Harsha students.
