To raise awareness of Diabetes locally, on World Diabetes Day on 16th November the interact club worked with Dr N S Balakrishnan from Sankar Hospital to organize a march. Over two hundred students from XI standard took part. The march was flagged off by Sumit Charan the DIG of Police Tirunelveli. A mobile diabetes camp was also organized using a School bus which toured round Sankarnagar Bazaar. Over 150 patients were tested and advice and, where necessary treatment, given. A number of people who had no idea they were at risk were found to need urgent treatment. This was a very worthwhile exercise.

On 6^th November we were delighted to welcome Nigel Wray, one of our most generous benefactors to Sri Jayendra. He spent two nights with us and was able to see just how much has been achieved with the help he has given us.

He opened the first floor rooms in the Lucy Joe Studios which have been equipped as Technology Integrated classrooms. He watched a demonstration lesson and then toured the school showing great interest in everything he saw. His visit culminated in a spectacular show of music and dance in the Priory Theatre which was enjoyed by all.

It was a great pleasure for us to be able to express our gratitude to him for all he has done for us. The School would not be what it is today without his generosity which has made such an incredible difference to the lives of so many children in the area.
