Every year, Hope House girls go on picnics
twice a year (at the beginning of the academic year and at the end).
These are to help the girls to relax and to learn something new in an
informal way. Where do you think we went this year? Can you guess?
We went to a nearby (about 90 KM) hill station called "Yelagiri Hills" which is 1100 meters above the sea level. We went by our own van and the group consisted of 23 children, 5 staff members and ofcourse our German volunteers. Due to the high attitude, temperatures were just right and girls had a good time.

Shalom Foundation Retreat Center
Dormitories that we used
We went on a Saturday the 20th of February
and returned on Sunday the 21st of February. We stayed at 'Shalom
Foundation Retreat Center' which is a beautiful facility with comfortable
amenities. They have an excellent security with compound wall and lots of
tress with a beautiful chapel located right in the middle.
We went on a boat ride, playing in the nature park, trekking in the aura valley and eating and eating and more eating. Above all, we had some quiet time in the Chapel.

This picnic brought our official activities for the year to an end and the girls will spend all their energies on the upcoming exams. Hopefully our first activity of the next academic year (June to April) would be a picnic again to signify the beginning.
