Gonzalo Dos Santos, Ambassador of the International Table Soccer Federation from Portugal, and Umesh Ghimire, a member of the Nepalese Federation and tournament organizer, were welcomed by students and staff at Navjyoti in Kathmandu. They spent a brief time with the students, offering tips on playing foosball.

Navjyoti Center, a day school for differently abled children in Baluwatar, Kathmandu, provides essential support for around 80 children. Sister Lisa Perekkatt and staff members work with the children each day, engaging them in various activities and vocational training. The visit from the foosball professionals was a special highlight for the children, adding excitement and valuable learning to their day.

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival that celebrates the bond of love, care, respect, and protection between brothers and sisters. On this day, a sister traditionally ties a rakhi (a sacred or decorative thread) around her brother’s wrist. In return, the brother expresses his love and commitment to care for and support her. Gifts and sweets are also commonly exchanged.

This beautiful tradition was creatively and meaningfully celebrated by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Vasai.
